Yes, and you almost got it right with your syntactic expansion:

#+begin_src org

  ,* Syntactic expansion

  ,#+name: setup_fu
  ,#+begin_src sh :noweb yes
    echo 2
  ,#+end_src

  ,#+begin_src sh :results raw :noweb yes
    echo 1
    <<setup_fu>>
    echo 3
  ,#+end_src

  ,#+results:
  1
  2
  3

#+end_src

Org src blocks can reference other src blocks.  Note the ":noweb yes"
option and the use of <<...>>.
