Did it ever what happened to you, building up a track and in the end you realise that you loved the way you made the track and how it turned out, and then you think you would like to make another track with some of the effects or sounds or synths that the other track had in it?..
I mean, do you recomend it?

A lot of artists do it.
Just use the same patches all over again. This is why some albums sound like the same thing going for 80 minutes, because it is.

I think albums having recurring sounds is not a problem as long as they vary so that the tracks don't sound /exactly/ the same |

In psytrance the sounds are always evolving, and many times I start a synth line with a patch I already know by heart, but in the end it ends up totally different after all the tweaking. If I know the synth well (like ableton's operator) i'll start out with a clean patch (just a simple sine wave) and twist it to oblivion. If I don't know it as well I'd probably start off with a half made preset and go from there.
I have my template project from where I start my tracks, and I can say I start out with th same kick, bass and perc sounds (simple presets that sound good together). With this approach I'm able to bypass the sound engineering in the composition part and just rely on playing the sounds out. After I have the idea of the track I'll start tweaking everything and changing the sources.
It's like a painter having the magenta, cyan, yellow, black and white paints to start his art.

i would say you cannot answer that question easily in a black and white fashion.
normally i would not use some key lead sounds twice, as they would remind me too much of each other then.
however, there is some great artist albums out there with the same flow going trough the whole album with similar kick/bass combos and "general lead sounds" that run through ten tracks smoothly creating a long and consistent trip which i find very very nice indeed.
listen to old shiva chandra or haldolium albums for example. same style same sounds more or less all the way. or for newer examples, our "local" disco hooligan for example. he has a certain vibe to his lead sounds that kinda makes his tracks recognizable without being repetive and boring.
so, using the exact same sounds i wouldn´t do. making you sounds alike in fashion and give your music a key signature vibe, flow and character is really cool on the other side..
i for myself love soo many different styles and sounds and find so many things cool that i get lost in the struggle for my "own" sound.. still searching though ;-)

I did this a while ago.
Started a track with a specific idea in mind, finished it, but it had gone totally off course.
As soon as I had finished it I saved it as a new copy, then deleted all the patterns and note groups and rebuilt it from scratch just using the sounds and stuff that I already had.
Both versions turned out pretty cool, and even though they sounded similar where miles apart in structure.
