Can we call a “case” inside another case in the same switch statement in Java?

Question

My intention is to call two cases inside another case in the same switch statement,

switch (orderType) {
        case 1: 
            statement 1;

You can't just call a another case block like this. What you could do, though, is wrap each of these blocks in a method, and reuse them:

private void doSomething() {
    // implementation
}

private void doSomethingElse() {
    // implementation
}

private void runSwitch(int order) {

    switch (orderType) {
           case 1: 
                doSomething();
                break;
           case 2:
                doSomethingElse();
                break;
           case 3:
                doSomething();
                doSomethingElse();
                break;
           default:
                break;
    }
}
