yes of course, you have to give the object a diff. name.
Don't be worry about the the problem  you posted, check that the rss feeds are valid and then it have to work without problems. (I use magpie in more than 20 projects without trouble)

This is an example from my site:

Code:

    <?php 
  $rss2 = fetch_rss("http://www.weberdev.com/RSS/LatestExamples.xml");
  $first10 = 0;
  foreach ($rss2->items as $item2) {
     $title2 = $item2['title'];
     $url2 = htmlspecialchars($item2['link'], ENT_QUOTES);
  if ($first10 < 10) {
  echo "<li><a href=\"".$url2."\" target=\"_blank\">".substr_words($title2, 50)."</a></li>\n";
  $first10++;
  }
  } // end foreach 
  ?>

note the va $rss2, just change that name for diff. objects

so i will just change the va $rss into $rss2 for the second feed, $rss3 for the third feed, and so on?

Or do something like this?

Code:

<?php 
$feeds = array ( "http://www.weberdev.com/RSS/LatestExamples.xml", "http://......" );
foreach ( $feeds as $feed_url )
{
  $rss2 = fetch_rss( $feed_url );
  $first10 = 0;
  foreach ($rss2->items as $item2) {
     $title2 = $item2['title'];
     $url2 = htmlspecialchars($item2['link'], ENT_QUOTES);
  if ($first10 < 10) {
  echo "<li><a href=\"".$url2."\" target=\"_blank\">".substr_words($title2, 50)."</a></li>\n";
  $first10++;
  }
  } // end foreach 
} 
 ?>

This will propably work with as many feeds as you like to.
