It's OK to run some tests in the same function.
When one of the asserts fails, following the traceback will lead you
straight to your problem.

The order of test execution is done by default by sorting the test
functions alphabetically.
You may disable the sort by setting self.sortTestMethodsUsing to None.
The simplest way to pass values between tests is to use the class it
(self).
