I have two databases that I want to show as 1st level, but they share a third database that I want to show as the 2nd level on both. Why is this not allowed? Is there anyway around this?

It’s not currently possible, and I know of no clever workarounds.

It’s hard 😉

I haven’t asked the devs, but my guess is that the view is formed by querying databases, with filters, to determine which entities should be shown, and then using clever front-end logic to decide how/where to show each entity (e.g. under which parent, in what order, etc.)  
If a database is participating in the view at two different levels, these operations can’t be easily decoupled.
