Is there any harm in giving a device a Fixed IP (DHCP rez) as well as a Static IP (on device)?

I'm just trying to understand how these things work. Thanks!

It's simpler and safer to assign your static devices like routers switches printers a static address and then exclude those addresses from the scope.
