Thanks to emacsclient, you only have one emacs. The fact that you get
a new frame or not is just a configuration setting.

   (describe-variable 'server-window)

I mean, the fact that things get intermixed is one goal of emacsclient
(the other one being fast start up).

Type M-n to open a new independent info buffer.
And most jumping commands have a 'C-u' that jump into a new buffer.

I would use one emacs by ECB and an other one for planning, taking
notes, etc.  You can then make emacsclient use the one you want or
setup only the third emacs as a server depending on your needs.

    From the emacs info manual:

    |    If there is more than one Emacs server running, you can specify a
    | server name with the `-s NAME' or `--socket-name=NAME' option to
    | `emacsclient'.  (This option is not supported on MS-Windows.)

    (info "(emacs)Invoking emacsclient")
