Maybe

Code:

/*bool a,b,c maybe passed in by parameters*/
if (a) {
  ... code for section a....
}else if (b) {
  ...code for section b....
}else if (c) {
  ...code for section c....
} else 
    return;//if you're not going to do anything if these tests fail...

  ... common code for all sections ...

Imagine "Common code" is several lines of code which depends on too many variables from the current function to export it to its own function.

Oh yeah almost forgot about this: structs are your friend.
