Do the densities of the Galilean moons increase with distance from Jupiter just as the densities of the planets increase with distance from the Sun?

To answer the question very literally: Yes. The Galilean satellites follow the same
pattern of density versus increasing distance from Jupiter that the planets' density
follows versus distance from the sun.
The specific pattern is: No pattern at all.
Earth ... 3rd from the sun ... is the most dense planet, while Saturn ... 6th planet
from the sun ... is the least dense. So there is no "just as" to compare to.
