I would set the priorities of testing and unstable to something lower
than 100 to prevent automatic installs from those releases if you want
to keep stable. More information on priorities can be found in the
manpage apt_preferences.
You can then install packages from different releases by simply using
apt-get install package/testing
apt-get install otherpackage/unstable
