Yes, and this would also work:

    deny  spam = nobody:true
          condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{150}{1}{0}}
          message = This message scored $spam_score points.


Where you *must* have "message" first is when the verb is "accept" or
"require":

    require message = I don't like you
            hosts = !10.9.8.7 


because processing stops and denial happens as soon as any condition (in
this case the "hosts" condition) is found to be false. (Note that
"accept" is equivalent to "require" with the same conditions, followed
by an unconditional "accept".)

Yes.
