No.  (That would be silly, nay, crazy even.)

Alan's answer is the first port of call.  You really need to give us more
to work with, otherwise we're just guessing, and if we have to guess it
makes our lives and your life more difficult than it needs to be.

That said, what you describe makes me suspect indentation problems of some
sort.  It sounds almost as if the latter test methods are somehow
considered to be inside the former test code, such that they're not "seen"
by the testing framework's test discovery process.  And, when you then
comment out the prior 2 methods, the latter 2 become "visible" due to not
being in the former's enclosing scope.  Or something like that.  But,
that's just a guess, and may be way off base...
