IOF rules & BOF rules don't explicitly say that, but do say "Controls shall not be sited within 30 m of each other " and "it must always be possible for a competitor to decide from the map which control to go to without needing to rely on the control code, and to do so quickly. If you are going to infringe either limit, you will need a good reason which you are able to justify to competitors."
