I haven't used multi geometry tables lately but they should be supported.
Details:
- the first geometry column will be marked as the default (there is no way
  to change this besides defining views that reorder the columns)
- make sure all geometry columns that you intend/need to run spatial filters
  on are spatially indexed, Oracle won't work without them (it's not about being
  slow, it's about filters not working at all without spatial indexes)
- you can use the other columns to draw maps by telling the symbolizer
  to use them using <geometry>columnName</geometry>
