I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but no: the cockpit is not pressurized separately from the cabin. If the man in the cockpit had passed out, so would the other pilot (and passengers) out in the cabin. . .
A discussion I read (or heard) recently implied that the cockpit and passenger cabin were separately pressurized, so if, say, the window glass blew out in the cockpit, the cabin might not have been immediately affected. But I might have heard wrong, or the source might have been wrong. Do you know for sure, as regards the Airbus 320?
