Ok, so from the research I've done I'm pretty sure that if I have multiple game cartridges, I can play them on the same 3ds and switch between them whenever I'd like. Also the same if I have a digital copy and a physical copy. Is this correct?

As of now I have one digital copy and one physical copy, but I play them on two separate 3ds systems. I am looking to by a third copy of the game now that the price has been lowered to $20. I would like to have two regular towns, and one cycling town.

Mainly I plan on playing this new copy on the same 3ds that my digital town is on. I should be able to switch back and forth between my digital town and my physical copy with no save corruption, right? If I decide I want to play my physical town on the second 3ds, can I just pop the cartridge into the second 3ds with no issuses?

To make it more simple, here is my ideal setup:

N3DS- Main digital town, main physical town
3DS- Cycling physical town

But I would like the option of switching my main physical town back and forth between the N3DS and the 3DS, if I needed to trade items between two main towns for example.

Also, would all of these towns work for online play? The towns on the same 3ds would share a friend code, correct? And if I swapped the cartridge into the other 3ds, the friend code would change? If I just have my friends register both of my ds friend codes, would they be able to visit any of my towns?
 
Yeah, your friend code would work normally.
But, your dream address would be usually updated according to the physical version of the game which you currently have.
 
For the streetpass you might want a main on each 3DS for the badges.
Early on I opened my spare town first and it took the tags away from my main town. You can tag every 8 hours.

The dream address will change if you update your town on another 3DS.
