Extruting from two sketch shapes that touch each other in a single point.

Im making ventilation in a back plate for some 3d printed casing. Instead of having just boring circular holes I went creative. 

I found a sketch pattern that I liked but cant get my head around why I cant extrude when the areas that I select for extruding touch each other in a point. 

I have tried to make the most simple version of the problem here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c2f452a72eb640059ca141a2/w/ebc862d2206b456984bfa9f4

At the demo you see two eyes/holes that are not touching. In the sketch there is a 3rd eye/hole in the middle, but If I select that to be part of the selection of "Extrude holes" then no material gets removed.


Any inputs?

    we could not extrude the sketch shape what you described,because there is a intersection point between two holes,so when extrude them , could not deal with these intersection points
