Why would that be a problem? They're in different tracks.
Are you saying that the instrument of channel 0 of track 1 is
somehow linked to the instrument of channel 0 of track 2?
Yes. The player should remember the instrument assigned to each channel,
regardless of which track set the instrument. The physical model is a midi
cable, where the receiver sees only the messages, not the track structure.
Tracks and Channels are orthogonal organizations.
Tracks organize the file; channels distinguish data streams down the (real or
virtual) cable.
The structure that *can* contain several channels is a Port, separate Ports
corresponding to separate cables in the hardware. One can optionally specify a
different Port for each Track (making Tracks and Channels no longer purely
orthogonal)

but I have no reason to expect a software midi player to support multiple ports.
