The platform checks your editorinput against all the editor's open to
see if one is open already. It does this by the .equals() method found
on the editor input. You'd have to create your own editor input and come
up with a scheme to decide when you would be able to open another
editor. I assume you're using the FileEditorInput. You need to create
your own version of the FileEditorInput. A problem you may have is what
happens when you have multiple editors open that are modifying the same
resources?
This seems more like a platform question then a GEF question :/
Cheers,

In 3.1, platform allows you to open multiple editors on the same file
(Window -> New Editor). You can look at that action's code or ask on the
platform newsgroup. You can also go the route of having multiple pages in
your editor.
