Switch statement inside a switch statement?

Question

I have to evaluate many conditions. In my case, I have to do something like this:

switch(id)
{
    case 5:
         // switch some other cases here
    case 6:

The only thing that could be wrong with it is that it could hurt readability:

switch(id)
{
    case 5:
    {
        switch (somethingElse)
        {
            case 1:
                // blah...
        }
    }
    case 6:
         // set some value
    ...
}

You could improve this by moving the nested section into a method:

switch(id)
{
    case 5:
        Foo();
        break;
    case 6:
         // set some value
    ...
}
