I often access our Jmol interface with different versions either in the same window/tab or in a new window. But I never had any problem getting the correct applet version with Firefox on Linux/WinXP and Firefox/MSIE on WinXP. So even from the same server it should't be a problem, as long as the different versions have there own subdirectory (reflected also in the URL of the applet). You can try this with the following URLs, which should come up with version 10.00.36, 10.2.0 and 10.9.86:
