yes, this is possible. You can use the following pointcut expression:

call("% m1()") && within("% m2()")

If you also want your advice to be executed in cases where the control 
flow indirectly reaches m1() from m2(), e.g. m2 calls m3, m3 calls m1, 
use 'cflow':

execution("% m1()") && cflow(execution("% m2()")

The latter method is more robust, but is a little less efficient.

Best regards,

Olaf
