Declarations of constructors or methods have parameters.

Classes do not have parameters (except type parameters).

Type names should start with uppercase letters.

Constructors are not methods.

instanciation calls a method setIndexation based on sosaRoot.

Method calls do not have »bases«.

You might have intended to the /target object/
of a method invocation.

When the first time I instancie to create an object called "aa" I have
this :
sosaIndex aa=sosaIndex(sosaRoot);

To create objects, one usually uses an instance creation
expression, which looks like »new CLASS(...)«

but Java does not say anything wrong if I do again :
(2) sosaIndex aa=sosaIndex(sosaRoot);
I mean instancie a new object with the SAME NAME "aa".

An local identifier can be declared only once within
a block. But the same identifier might be declared
in another block or other scope.

Anything wrong with method (2) and what happens to the first
instanciation "aa" ?

If they have different scopes, they will not disturbe
each other.

To the OP:

It will help you and us if you post a simple, short, complete, compilable example (my version of SSCCE - not the official expansion :) ) illustrating your question and the consequences you wish to discuss.

Your simple, short example should use simple, short indentation based on 2, 3 or 4 spaces per level, depending on your favorite standard of readability. Usenet doesn't like wide lines - keep them to roughly 72 characters (some say even lower) maximum.

Be sure to incorporate Stefan's comments into it - no sense in wasting good advice.
