SSAS hiearchy scenario where duplicate attribute values appear

We have so many ways that our users need to drill down to see their data.  I am creating various hierarchies to accomplish this.  However, I keep running into attribute values appearing more than once in some hierarchies.  I can understand why this would happen, but am looking for a solution as to how to avoid this.

How can I create multiple SSAS hierarchies while avoiding attribute values appearing more than once in some hierarchies but not others?

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

Development in most programming languages is done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). Dev Tools covers issues with the use of that software, rather than the actual programming being written. XCode, Visual Studio and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools.

DB Dev Tools

SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is an online analytical processing (OLAP) and data mining tool in Microsoft SQL Server used as a tool by organizations to analyze and make sense of information possibly spread out across multiple databases, or in disparate tables or files. Analysis Services includes a group of OLAP and data mining capabilities and comes in two flavors - Multidimensional and Tabular.
