two separate tickets scheduled for same day
Say I have two separate tickets with AA on the same day.
The first as follows (round-trip):
point A 6am to point B 8am
point B 10pm to point A 12am
The second as follows (round-trip):
point B 9am to point C noon
point C 2pm to point B 7pm
Will this cause any problem with check-ins considering they are both on the same day but on separate tickets/record locators with somewhat tight "connecting" times?

Probably not. I don't know if this violates some obscure clause in AA's CoC about nested tickets or some such, but it's not an impossible itinerary so theoretically you should be ok. But I'm sure someone else who actually knows what they're talking about will chime in.

Should not be an issue, at all.
Only if the 'nesting' was being done to circumvent a minimum stay requirement, or other rule. Given either way it is sub 24 hrs, i cannot see it.

No - it's not a problem. I do it all of the time.
I live outside of the USA, but have a US job that requires domestic travel. The deal I have with my current employer is that I pay for travel from my country to a US airport and they pay the domestic ticket. So, I generally buy two separate tickets rather than jump through hoops with corporate accounting to split a singe invoice.
The check-in agent at the first airport usually prints my BP's for both flights, though they cannot check my luggage through. If your first flight is late, AA will put you on a later flight just as if you had a single-ticket connecting flight. The only exception to that is if your two reservations violate the minimum connection time (MCT). That is, if your separate reservations result in a tight connection that they would not have sold you as a connecting flight they are not obligated to help you.
