Speaking just to the second part of your question as applied to item 2), i.e. the "legality".
Whether it is "legal" or not, being as charitable and kind as possible, it is simply a very bad idea.

I can see two ways of representing this in the schematic library: 1) Place 40 pins and give each one a title like "PA0 (AD0)". 2) Place one pin for each function but with duplicate pin numbers (so there's two of each pin, with different names). Which, or both, of these methods is legal (Protel 99SE) and which is advisable?
