Count How Many Times a Function is Excuted after the Exceution of Another Function for an Instance of a Class

Based on this question, I know how to count how many times a function FUNCTION was executed within an instance of a class CLASS. Now, I have another question: How would I count how many times (for one instance of the class CLASS) a second function FUNCTION2 is executed after the first function FUNCTION is executed ?

Here is a small example of how I tried it:

class CLASS:
    # Initializing counting for first function
    counting_function_execution  = 0

    def __init__(self,name):
        self.name = name

    def FUNCTION1(self):
        # Initializing counting for second function
        counting_excution_after_FUNCTION = 0

        self.counting_function_execution += 1
        print("FUNCTION 1 was excecuted ", self.counting_function_execution, " time.")

    def FUNCTION2(self):
        counting_excution_after_FUNCTION += 1
        print("FUNCTION 2 was excecuted ", self.counting_excution_after_FUNCTION, " time after FUNCTION.")

...but I got:

test = CLASS("Fred")
test.FUNCTION1()
test.FUNCTION2()
test.FUNCTION2()

the output:

FUNCTION 1 was excecuted  1  time.

     18         print("FUNCTION 2 was excecuted ", self.counting_excution_after_FUNCTION, " time after FUNCTION.")

If you keep track of how many times FUNCTION1 is called, you can test for that in FUNCTION2 and make sure it's above zero before you start counting FUNCTION2:

class CLASS:

    def __init__(self,name):
        self.name = name
        # initialize instance counters -- each instance gets its own counts
        self.counting_function_execution_1 = 0
        self.counting_function_execution_2 = 0

    def FUNCTION1(self):
        self.counting_function_execution_1 += 1
        print("FUNCTION 1 was excecuted ", self.counting_function_execution_1, " number of times.")

    def FUNCTION2(self):
        if self.counting_function_execution_1:     # don't count unless function1 has run
            self.counting_function_execution_2 += 1
        print("FUNCTION 2 was excecuted ", self.counting_function_execution_2, " number of times after FUNCTION.")

c = CLASS('the dude')
c.FUNCTION2() #0
c.FUNCTION2() #0
c.FUNCTION1()

c.FUNCTION2() #1
c.FUNCTION2() #2
