1-Dual means exactly two. If you have more than one bootable OS, you do not 
have dual boot; you do have multiboot. Even if you do have dual boot, you 
still have multiboot, as multiboot means more than one bootable OS.

2-When installing additional distro, install its Grub to its /boot or /[1], 
after which boot the original to update master Grub to add stanza to 
chainload the addition. This way there is no need to disturb MBR or default 
boot behavior.

[1] This should be default behavior of every distro's installer when already 
exists any installed OS that is not to be overwritten by the new installation.
