How to place heterogeneous parts in two same hierarchy bolcks(occurrence)?

Hi there!

We met a problem in place and annotate heterogeneous parts in hierarchy blocks.

An IC contains dual amplifiers, and it's  schematic symbol consists of two heterogeneous parts(A and B).We use ONE amplifier in a specific hierarchy Block (name is BLOCK_TEST)

There are two Occurrences of BLOCK_TESTs in our project, so one IC is just enough. We attempted to place part A in BLOCK_TEST0 and place part B in BLOCK_TEST1. 

There seems to be paradox: two BLOCK_TESTs is exactly the same occurrences, while the part A and part B is heterogeneous symbol.

How to solve this confilct? 

The example dsn and olb file is attached.

Thanks very much!
