I'm not sure why you're seeing this result. I have no trouble converting
second-level index entries with multiple targets. Here is a snippet I just
generated:

  <indexitem text="Heidelberg">
    <indexitem target="c022_html_1019677" text="documentation templates"/>
    <indexitem text="template guidelines">
      <indexitem target="c022_html_1019677" text="Overview "/>
      <indexitem target="c0211_html_1021756" text="Tagging FrameMaker
Documents "/>
    </indexitem>
  </indexitem>

Was your project built with the latest JavaHelp template (included in WWP
Professional 6.0.6)?

Did you mean to say your "ProjectIX.fm" file? If not, how have you set
mappings in that one?

This problem is fixed in JDK/JRE 1.3. Are you perhaps testing on a machine
that has (or used to have) an earlier version of the JDK installed? (I have
seen Windows machines get confused about which JDK/JRE to use.) If you type
java -fullversion at an OS prompt, what is the result?
