This is actually not true - all EVE installs will use the same cache location. If you change the cache location then you change it for all clients.
Quote: - Mixing is no problem since every file that is equal is shared and everything that is different is safed in different files. So if you use the same folder and dataset X is same on TQ and SiSi it is used by both clients, if SiSi introduces something new it is safed in a different file in that folder and is not used by the TQ client since it's not indexed in that client.
You basically just safe space on you drive. That's the only essential change!.
This on the other hand is true. All version of a resource file have their own name in the resource cache. This prevents unwanted mixing of resources between Singularity and Tranquility. If we for example change the model of the Megathron slightly, then you will download new files as soon as you see one on Singularity. The Tranquility client will then use these same new files as soon the new model has been released to TQ and not any earlier.

And this will of course always work, because no one ever in the history of software development has made an error with version numbers.
In this case we are not relying on a version number, but on the hash of the content. For this to fail the hash of two different versions would have to be the same - which is possible in theory, but extremely unlikely (I don't have the numbers for this, but CCP Snorlax investigated this in detail).

Currently I have 3 EvE folders - SiSi, TQ 1st account, TQ 2nd account (as a walkaround to not being able to switch toons without relogging). At this moment each launcher/game updates separately and I'm ok with that.
With DoD will that change and if, how do i keep it the old way?
Can I patch all 3 clients and pick different cache folder for each or they will be somehow forced to use one?
All clients will use the same cache folder, but the client and launcher stay separate. With your setup you will still need to patch the clients separately, but you will have to download way less (as all resources are only downloaded once).
