Thanks a lot Rusty,

Actually in number 2 we are not supposed to know whose joy it is. It might be mine, or ours, or yours, etc.
2-"The joy of your coming back."
is supposed to mean:
"The joy created by your coming back."
But I am not sure that 2 is correct.

Are these ones correct:
5-My joy that you have come back is great.
6-My joy is great that you have come back.
