This a bad design. First of all, you should have some hysteresis. Secondly, you should separate the inputs; in other words, you should have resistors on each set of inputs. Thirdly, why are you duplicating the comparators? You could just use a buffer, if that’s your intent.
 
If comparator thresholds are close to each other then "kickback noise" from the first to fire may provoke the second, falsely. A problem in things like flash ADC reference ladder design.
 

Hi,

I agree with barry.

Additionally: one is a comparator, while the other is an OPAMP.
They have different functions, have different input conditions, different output conditions.

Does the parallel connection make sense at all?
Does it make sense to use VFIX as signal input as well as supply.
Whit is connected to their outputs?

VIN is used as supplly. My personal recommendation: give it a more usuful name, like VCC or +5V or so.
"VIN" usually is used as analog/digital signal, not as supply.

You urgently need power supply capacitors.
