Hello,
I am deploying Mikrotik for a shopping mall , We have 3 floors to be covered bu internet using out hotspot .
I was able to configure the Mikrotik 1200 as a hotspot .
I used ether1 as a configuration port 192.168.88.1 ( the default )
ether2 as a dhcp client 192.168.10.x
ether3 as a dhcp server for the hotspot client .
my question is instead of using a switch to connect my three floors , can I use also the ether4 and ether5 to be used , using the same dhcp pool and same hotspot profile ??????? is that possible????????

You can use the switch in the mikrotik.
Set Eth 4 and 5 master port to Eth 3. That will link them using the Mikrotik Switch.

Yes and it will add everything connected to those ports to the hotspot as well.

or you bridge the port 3,4,5 and put the hotspot on the bridge.

The usage of bridges spends CPU resources. If you want a Switch, and RB1200 has 2 Hardware switch, why don't use them?
Yes, mnour, set eth4 and eth5 as slave and them will work as a switch connected to eth3

Sorry but RB1200 does not have 2 hardware switches. Here is the diagram:
