Yes and yes.  A typical cause would be low oil in the gearbox so that 
it loses hydraulic pressure and can't stay engaged fully.  The fact 
that this happened when you were going uphill may be a clue.

On the other hand it could be something else such as severely worn 
clutch surfaces in the OD.  I'd top off the tranny oil first, see if 
it happens again.

Could it actually have been the clutch slipping?  Or did you turn off 
the OD and the slipping stopped?
