Obviously not ...

If you actually want something from a lower rated repo, you must add an:

exclude=<package_name>

in the higher rated repo.  That in effect no longer looks for the
package in the higher rated repo and gets it from the next one down the
list.

Since all repos do not test the others for interactivity, and since
every user might have different repos than everyone else (including
local ones, etc.) ... there is no one size fits all solution for adding
more than just the base repos.
