instead of

switch (cond)

which requires modification of the condition twice when necessary

Do you mean this?

switch(cond) {
  case A:
    common_code();
    // something
  case B:
    common_code();
    // something else
}

(common_code() must not be executed if it doesn't hit any switch case)

exactly
