You can just define
function myf(x)
# do things with x, assuming it is of type T1 or T2
end
This is called "duck typing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing>".
This way the function will work with and x that supports the operations
that myf applies to it. If you would prefer for the method definition to
only apply to x when it's of type T1 or T2 you can use a union:
function myf(x::Union{T1,T2})
# x will always be of either type T1 or T2
end
