Answer 1

All these 3 hierarchies are level based hierarchies and hierarchies 2 (P&L) and 3 (BS) are subsets of main hierarchy 1 (TB).
There should not be any duplication if you use generic level identifiers for the levels of the hierarchies instead of using the actual member names which (kind of) represent the levels.
Try
TOT level for "Total" in Main hierarchy
ELEM level to represent the generic level containing members: "Profit" and/or "Balance Sheet"
=> Use level to represent L2 in Main containing "Profit" and "Balance Sheet"
=> Use level to represent L1 in P&L containing "Profit"
=> Use level to represent L1 in BS containing "Balance Sheet"
LEAF level to represent the leaf level in each hierarchy
=> Use level to represent L3 in Main containing "Gross Profit", "Expenses", "Assets" and "Liabilities"
=> Use level to represent L2 in P&L containing "Gross Profit" and "Expenses"
=> Use level to represent L2 in BS containing "Assets" and "Liabilities"
3 Hierarchies
Main: LEAF -> ELEM -> TOT
P&L: LEAF -> ELEM
BS: LEAF -> ELEM
There wouldnt be any duplication in this case.
In fact the Profit member in Main hierarchy and Profit Member in P&L hierarchy would be the same in all respects (All attributes including Name, Desc, Fact Value stored against the member). The front end or UI will not be able to distinguish b/w the member in different hierarchies w/o regard to the context of the report and/or additional reporting metadata.
