Did you really mean for these to be the same zone?  You can't have the
same zone listed twice with different files.

If you have multiple forward domains and a single class C, you just need a
single reverse zone.  It will contain PTR records for all your addresses,
pointing to the appropriate hostnames.  If you want to have separate files
for each domain's PTR records, use $INCLUDE within the reverse zone file.
