Hate to bother again, but I've been down this road several times and even created a less than adequate solution but am determined to make this area more usable:
Problem: I'd like to easily be able to specify to a query "disable_other_eagerloads", in a manner similar to enable_eagerloads(False), except it only affects relationships not specifically joined/subquery loaded for that query. I've taken to heart comments you've made more than once about avoiding marking lazy=False in the relationship mappings. In fact, I've seen they have a very evil side, I've tried to portrait them as potentially evil to the engineers I work with who would more happily take the lazy approach of eagerloading everything in the mappers so they don't have to think about it. I've also removed the majority of them. Still, there are relationships that, far more often than not will need to be joinloaded, so some are still marked as lazy=False. I suspect I may rip my hair out someday and remove every last one of them, but in the meantime, a query option that shuts off all those you haven't specifically mentioned in the query would be very useful. I'm getting lost within strategies.py and hope you would just shove me in a sensible direction for how you might go about creating such a feature....
