So - if someone is visiting Country A and changing planes in Country B on the way to Country A then it's country A that needs to issue the visa.

And once the visa has been issued, there is no problem visiting any Schengen country. I know people who have multiple-entry Schengen visas issued by country X, and are regularly visiting country Y without any problem.
