Error in passing paramters from testng.xml in testng

Question

I am unable to access paramterised value defined in testng.xml.Tried defining parameter at test and method level too which i got from other similar queries here but the erros remains same Error is- "Parameter 'myName' is required by @Test on method parameterTest but has not been marked @Optional or defined in C:\Windows\Temp\testng-eclipse-281832880\testng-customsuite.xml"

Below is my snippet of code,followed by testng.xml and error

Code snippet for one and two params

testng.xml with both param types 1-at test and method level both, 2- at method level

The following works for me [ You just need to ensure that the same class is not being included more than once in the same <test> tag.

Here's a sample

package organized.chaos.testng;

import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class EmployeeTestNG {
    @Parameters ({"and", "abc"})
    @Test
    public void test1(String b, String a) {
        System.err.println("****" + b + a);
    }

    @Test
    @Parameters ("myName")
    public void parameterTest(String myName) {
        System.err.println("Parameterized value is " + myName);
    }
}

Here's the TestNG suite xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="employee-suite">
    <test name="Employee-test">
        <classes>
            <class name="organized.chaos.testng.EmployeeTestNG">
                <parameter name="myName" value="TestNG"/>
                <parameter name="and" value="KungFu"/>
                <parameter name="abc" value="Panda"/>
                <methods>
                    <include name="parameterTest"/>
                    <include name="test1"/>
                </methods>
            </class>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

Here's the output
