If you select your Comp1 in the timeline and duplicate it, then you haven't a second comp. You have the same comp working as two layers.
But if you select the Comp1 in the bin project and duplicate it, you have a Comp2 and then you drop it to timeline. In this way you have 2 'real' comps independently. You can change all the content of the Comp2 without any change in the Comp1.
