Thank you!  You are not an SQL alchemist, you are a SQL Wizard!  Thank you 
again!

For bonus points, an order by is possible on the discriminator like objects 
are returned consecutively:

poly = with_polymorphic(

    AddressAssociation,

    [Customer.assoc_cls, Supplier.assoc_cls], aliased=True)


eager_addresses = session.query(Address).options(

    joinedload(Address.association.of_type(poly)).joinedload(

        poly.CustomerAddressAssociation.parent),

    joinedload(Address.association.of_type(poly)).joinedload(

        poly.SupplierAddressAssociation.parent),

).order_by(poly.discriminator.desc(),  poly.id)
