Using Methods Within Methods

I have written two methods called "contains" and "overlaps". The method "contains" is to detemine whether a point (x, y coordinate) is within the surface area of a square object. The location of the square objects is determined by the location of the upper left corner of the square.The method "overlaps" is to determine whether two square objects overlap each other.

I have written these as two separate methods. However I want to change the method "overlaps", so that it uses the method "contains" within it. I.e. using a method within a method. Thereby hopefully making the "overlaps" method a bit more clear and easy to read.

Java Code:

/** Returns true of the point with the coordinates x,y, are within the square. */
public boolean contains(int x, int y){
int sx = location.getX(); //"location" refers to a square object
int sy = location.getY(); // getX() and getY() are to find it's coordinates
// "side" is the side length of the square
if (x >= sx && x <= (sx + side) && y >= sy && y <= (sy + side)){
