You should only load multiple ontologies to a single reasoner if you
want the ontologies to interact.  If you want to switch among the
ontologies but have them not interact, you should use a separate
reasoner for each ontology.

There are OWL API examples included in the distribution.  In particular,
see [1], [2].
