no its is not possible . OUs of the same name in different domains are independent..
Organizational Units appear within a top-level Organization grouping or Organization certificate, called a Domain. In many systems one OU can also exist within another OU. When OUs are nested, as one OU contains another OU, this creates a relationship where the contained OU is called the child and the container is called the parent. Thus, OUs are used to create a hierarchy of containers within a domain. Only OUs within the same domain can have relationships.
Active Directory organizes multiple domains hierarchically in a forest. A forest is the top-level structure in Active Directory that contains multiple domains. Each domain within a forest has its own security policies and trust relationships with other domains in the forest.
The four types of Active Directory container objects are Organizational Units (OUs), domains, sites, and the built-in container. Organizational Units are used to organize users, groups, and devices for management and delegation of permissions. Domains represent a logical group of objects within the directory, while sites are used to manage replication and network topology. The built-in container holds default groups and accounts that are created with Active Directory.
3 as it is the minimum amount of domains in anything. I think this is for and Active Directory Tree !
In Active Directory, container structures are organized into four main divisions: Organizational Units (OUs), Domains, Sites, and Forests. OUs are used to create a hierarchical structure for managing users, groups, and resources within a domain. Domains represent the core units of security and administrative boundaries, while Sites are used for network topology and replication management. Forests are the highest level of the structure, encompassing multiple domains and providing a shared schema and global catalog.

A collection of domains that share a common schema.
The Active Directory administrative tools can only be used from a computer with access to a domain. The following Active Directory administrative tools are available on the Administrative Tools menu: Active Directory Users and Computers (dsa.msc) Active Directory Domains and Trusts (domain.msc) Active Directory Sites and Services (dssite.msc)

Active Directory NC (Naming Context's) * Active Directory consists of three partitions or naming contexts (NC) ** Domain, Configuration and Schema Naming Contexts * Each are replicated independently * An Active Directory forest has single schema and configuration ** Every domain controller (DC) holds a copy of each (schema, configuration NC's) * Forest can have multiple domains ** Every domain controller in a domain holds a copy of the domain NC
The group scope that can contain global groups from multiple domains is the universal group. Universal groups are designed to aggregate users and groups from multiple domains within a forest, allowing for more flexible permissions and resource access across different domains. They can include global groups from any domain within the same Active Directory forest, making them useful for organizations with complex structures.
