hi. in theory it is possible, having the software different names (lo36 
or lo40). then you bild different launchers to call different packages. 
one problem may be given by the configuration files in your home/.config 
directory:  inside you should find 2 directories: 3 & 4... installatio 
may replace some libraries, but it shouldn't give conflicts or 
problems...   you should also be able, for example, to add to submenus 
(eg lo3 and lo4) to the menus... try with the packages names.
