Apple id with multiple users of Macs and device with ML

If a house has three Macs, (John' and, Jan's MacBook Pros and. A MacBook Air (to share)) An iPhone and ipad each.

If we have use same Apple ID for music, apps etc. will all notifications of each others mail etc get sent to all macs and devices?

While using Pages etc. will each others documents turn up on other's machine and devices?

Is there a manual that addresses such issues.

OR do the two have to have two appleids and payout for applications twice?

Hope this makes sense

You can use different Apple ids for iTunes and iCloud in the same account. That way you can share purchases while keeping the documents and messages separate. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895 for instructions on setting it up.
