main() threading process

I'm trying to do some simple checks in the main method. For example:

public static void main(String args[]) {

// First check

if (passed1) {

System.out.println("Passed 1");

}

// Second check

if (passed2) {

System.out.println("Passed 2");

}

}

Is there a way to make sure the first check is completed before executing the second check in the main() method?

Thanks.
