You should be fine if you vent the lavatory and wet vent the tub/shower drain back to the lavatory drain. The second floor toilet should present no vacume on the first floor bathroom group as it will be well vented by both the main stack vent and the lavatory vent. You may revent the lavatory vent back to the main stack vent instead of running it out the roof if you wish.
