I realize this thread is years old, but for anyone who finds it by searching for a solution to the same issue, I may have your answer. 

 

In the Appearance panel, click on Opacity. A flyout appears to adjust the opacity, and at the bottom you'll see three checkbox options: Isolate Blending, Knockout Group, and Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape. Check off the last one, "Opacity & Mask ..." and see if that solves your issue. It did mine after trying to figure this out!

looks like you applied transparency to the entire layer, so yes, that would be correct. i think you want to set transparency for each shape instead.

I don't see your Transparency panel. Check that to see what blending mode is active. If it does not say Normal then make it so (see screen shot). Also if I am reading your screen shot correctly then you have the opacity set for 90% not 35%. Also in your top screen shot the object does not appear to be selected. Any readings shown are only relevant if the object is selected.

Then like Jonathan said try putting them on the same layer and set the transparency for each shape rather then the layer.

That would apply to a very specific set of conditions in an opacity mask. The OP doesn't appear to have created an opacity mask.
