It's supposed to. A switch statement will process every line it 
encounters until it sees a "break" or until the switch construct ends. 
It doesn't matter if other "case" statements are scattered in there or 
not; as soon as one "case" matches, a switch construct just starts 
processing every line until a break, ignoring any other "cases" in the way.

They aren't like "if"s, which only process lines in between the 
"if/else/end if" sections.
