Symbolically Stupid: HELP!

Wow, i thought I had this flash learning going in the right direction. I need to make a movie clip with two additional MCs inside it.

  So I made it in the library and then dragged all 5 instances I needed to the stage. I named the instance names for all 3 MC's of the first one. BUT...

  When I went to the second, it had the instance names of the first in it. Something is definitely not right. I am confused and could use some sure guidance. Please help. Somehow I am not doing this right...

Thanks…
