No, Community cannot contain two populations of the same species, but it includes populations of organisms of different species.
As per various definitions:
“A population can be simply defined as a group of organisms of the same species living in a particular habitat.”

In other words, the members of the same species living in the same place at the same time are termed as the population. Populations of African elephants, amphibians in a pond are examples of the population.
A community is made up of all the populations of organisms or different species living and interacting with each another within the same place or an area at the same time. It is also called as the biological community. For example- all animals, birds, plants, trees, insects, reptiles leaving in a forest can be called as the community.
