Yes, but, the pointcuts do not overlap!

  pointcut p1(): execution(void f()) && cflow(execution(void f1()));
  pointcut p2(): execution(void f()) && cflow(execution(void f2()));

The first only applies to f in the cflow of f1, while the second only
applies to f in the cflow of f2.  No execution of f is in both cflows:

  void f1() { f(); }
  void f2() { f(); }
  void f() { }

Or am I missing something?
