How to skip an if statement to go to the next if statement

Is it possible to skip an if statement and execute another if statement inside that if statement?

if(...){
    A code.
}else if(...){
    B. Call to C.
}else if(...){
    C code.
}else(...){
    D code.
}

E.g. if I am in the if statement containing A, and the conditions change so that B is executed, how would I call the code in C WHILST in the B else if statement.

EDIT = Forgot to say that my if statements apart from one returned a custom object array called Dice[]. I have implemented the below solutions and now getting a return statement error.

public Die[] ifA(){
A
}

public void ifB(){
ifC(); ifD();
}
public Die[] ifC(){
C
}
public Die[] ifD(){
D
}

public Die[] roll(){

if(...){ return ifA();
}else if(...){ifC();ifD();
}else if(...){return ifC();    
}else(...){return ifD();
}

}

I'm just getting a return error at the end of the roll() method. Surely I shouldn't as I used the else{} block therefore the else WILL have to run if no if/else if statement is executed, no?

EDIT #2 = Just found a workaround for the method that did not return a value. Thanks guys for your input. Made my code a lot neater and understandable!

You could put your A Code, B Code, C Code, and D Code in their own methods and then call the C Code while in the B if statement.

For Example

public void doA() {
    //Do what would happen in A
}
public void doB() {
    //Do what would happen in B
}
public void doC() {
    //Do what would happen in C
}
public void doD() {
    //Do what would happen in D
}

and for the if-else-block

if (...) {
    doA();
} else if (...) {
    doB();
    doC();
} else if (...) {
    doC();
} else {
    doD();
}

Obviously the other two answers are cleaner, but just throwing another way out there.

int condition = 2;
while(true) {
    if(condition == 1){
        System.out.println(1);

    }else if (condition == 2){
        System.out.println(2);
        condition = 3;
        continue;

    }else if (condition == 3){
        System.out.println(3);

    }

    break; //if continue gets called it will skip this
}

Create a method for the c Code.

if(...){
    A code.
}else if(...){
    B
    cCode();
}else if(...){
    cCode();
}else(...){
    D code.
}


private void cCode() {
   ...
}
