I will give you example for my site, for example somewhere I have IP 
1.2.3.4 which serves two virtual hosts xyz.org and abc.com

You need only one NameVirtualHost because you just want to tell Apache
what IPs serve virtual hosts. When your hosts have IN A for the same IP 
just put it in NameVirtualHost, and then define those hosts in VirtualHost
directive.

NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4

<VirtualHost xyz.org:80>
   ...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost abc.com:80>
  ...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
   # this will be applied when user views http://1.2.3.4 instead
   # of http://abc.com or http://xyz.org
</VirtualHost>

and it works without problem and always worked.
