How many bands do you get with single digest with either BamH1 or Nde1? With both, based on pET15b sequence you should get a small and probably undetectable 12bp fragment and the rest of your plasmid (single band). Can you post a picture of your gel? A possibility is that you have partial digest. You need to add BSA to Buffer 3 for BamH1 to digest properly. No BSA, no good cut from BamH1
You can start with NdeI in buffer 2 and when the DNA is digested then you can add BamHI in digested DNA. I think no need of gel extraction. I am also agree with Mesplède that you should add BSA to Buffer 3 for BamHI digestion. As you know BamHI have the star activity so it might be a cause of this problem. You can also check the efficacy of 2X tango buffer. AND good luck for this chance
I accept above suggestion to overcome two more bands in gel instead of one. I hope you have also checked the restriction site in your desired sequnce!!!! some time the restriction site within your seq have chance to cleave the desired DNA.
