So I was flying ex-ZRH earlier this week on UA. At check-in I was told my 2 lounge options were the LX lounge and the *A lounge. I decided to go to the Swiss lounge. I inquired with the agent at the lounge how far the UA gates (E) were from the lounge and was told 15 minutes. I then inquired if the *A lounge was closer and was told it was 5 minutes down the corridor. At the same time I was also told that since I entered the LX lounge that I no longer would be able to use the *A lounge. My BP was stamped, "Swissport: Lounge Access Used." I asked another FT'er who I know who has gone through ZRH and was told that he primarily uses the LX lounge as he flies, LX, LH, and SQ through ZRH. However his BP is only stamped when he uses the LX lounge and flies SQ. Is this the norm as I've never seen this policy at other airports where there are multiple *A lounges within the same terminal (SFO, NRT, HKG, FRA, LHR, SYD, MEL).

Edited to add I was flying Business Class and am a UA 1K (*G).
