We know that two different homoclinic classes contained in the same hyperbolic set are disjoint [12]. Moreover, a connected singular-hyperbolic attracting set with dense periodic orbits and a unique equilibrium is either transitive or the union of two different homoclinic classes [6]. These results motivate the questions of if two different homoclinic classes contained in the same singular-hyperbolic set are disjoint or if the second alternative in [6] cannot occur. Here we give a negative answer for both questions. Indeed we prove that every compact $3$-manifold supports a vector field exhibiting a connected singular-hyperbolic attracting set which has dense periodic orbits, a unique singularity, is the union of two homoclinic classes but is not transitive.
