Ok, I have duplicate classes - #frame and #frame1.
Let's get our terminology straight:
ids are not classes; classes are not ids.
ids look like:
id="thing"
and are selected like:
#thing
classes look like:
class="thing other-thing"
and are selected like
.thing
An element may have zero or one IDs.
An element may have zero or more classes.
id is supposed to be unique within a given document.
The same classname may be used multiple times in the same document.
See:

What I don't understand is why switching from #frame to #frame1 should
change formatting.
#frame targets an element with id="frame" while "frame1" targets an
element with id="frame1". So I'm not sure what these have to do with one
another.
The two classes are absolutely the same, the only
difference is the "1" in the name.
Which is to say they are utterly different, since they have different names.
I would logically assume that the
interpreter or whoever is operating this stuff would understand that the
page is using a different class, whether it is the same name as another
or not.
I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean.
If I create still another class and start to format the various
sections of that class, I will wind up with the identical class as
#frame1.
Again, I don't know what you mean.
So where is the logic here?
Without seeing some clear test case links that reproduces the problem
for us, I really can't comment about that.
It seems to me that what I am trying to do is logically and intuitively clear

What you're trying to do really isn't clear to me. Being able to see the
problem (and the underlying code) might help.
