Actually, if you apply ED, applying to other schools EA or rolling generally doesn't matter. (I say generally because there might be one or two schools out there that I don't know about that have a different rule.) Some schools, like Columbia, don't encourage it but don't forbid it either. Since ED is binding and these early apps aren't, there shouldn't be a problem.
The problem, however, comes in with Yale and Stanford, which are Single Choice EA. You can apply only to one of them EA and nowhere else. The best thing to do for them is call them if you're considering applying to early to them and with one of these priority apps.
