Error in passing paramters from testng.xml in testng - parameter-passing

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
[TestNG] Running:
/Users/krmahadevan/githome/PlayGround/testbed/src/test/resources/employee.xml
Parameterized value is TestNG
