No. However, one can write

select
    delay 10.0;
    ...
then abort
    select
       Call_2 (...);
       ...
    then abort
       Call_1 (...);
       ...
    end select;
end select;

It's possible, if you do this, that zero, one, or both entry calls may complete, 
and figuring out which "..." gets executed for the various cases is not easy.
