    "1or2 is right way? or both?"

    Sorry my friend but the answer is neither one of the plans would pass.
    # 1 has the toilet discharging directly into a unvented shower as does #2 which should be a shocker to anyone taking a shower when the potty's flushed.
    The plans designates no vents that are shown. If you keep the present configuration then the toilet will have to connect downstream from the shower, the lavatory will have to be vented and the shower drain line will have to have a fitting rolled up on a 45 degree angle and a vent taken off that. I'm still trying to figure out what you're doing with the kitchen sink in #1. Back to the drawing board I'm afraid. Cheers, Tom
