Hi,
I have:
- I1 to I12: 12 store attributes (indicators)
- S1 to S4: 4 sub-components of the value proposition (LVs - first order)
- VP: 1 construct of "overall value proposition" (LV - second order).
I m designing a model where S1, S2, S3 and S4
form VP
are formed by I1 to I12.
As I do not have any indicator for VP I use I1 to I12 twice in the model.
According to theory certain attributes (e.g. I4: Assortment depth) affect more than 1 sub-component (e.g. S1: Assortment and S3: Information).
Can I use the same indicator for more than one latent variable?
Same indicator for 2 LVs

repeating indicators
Yes indicators can be repeated if the same indicator is to appear in first order and second order constructs, not otherwise.
