Squeezing in combat.

Taking into account the rules for Squeezing, could 2 Medium or Small allies squeeze into the same 5-foot square when in cramped conditions (suffering the usual -4 attack/AC)?

"...while squeezed in a narrow space you take a -4 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to AC. " I think they also lose evasion.

Technically, I don't think squeezing applies to simply occupying the same square...which would call for shunting of the invading character.

"You can’t end your movement in the same square as another creature unless it is helpless. "

The simple answer is no.

The squeezing rules implies a physical barrier (like a wall) that makes the square smaller than 5'. It does not indicate you can apply squeeze rules on any 5' square.

In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn’t as wide as the space you take up.
