Advise, multiple post objects?

Hi,

I just discovered Post Object fields type and I was hoping for some advice on what is good practise?
My plan is to have 3 different Post Object -fields where each one would setup a select list (from 3 separate CPT:s).
This should produce 3 different ”related content -areas” below the main article/loop.

In short, I was hoping something like this could work (from hook outside main loop, placed in functions.php):

$post_object = get_field(’cpt-one’);
if( $post_object )  {
	$post = $post_object;
	setup_postdata( $post ); 
	$cpt-content = $post_object->post_content;
	$cpt-id = $post_object->ID;

	echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $idtest, 'thumbnail' );
	echo $cpt-content;

        wp_reset_postdata();
}
$post_object = get_field(’cpt-two’);
if( $post_object )  {
	$post = $post_object;
	setup_postdata( $post ); 
	$cpt-content = $post_object->post_content;
	$cpt-id = $post_object->ID;

	echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $idtest, 'thumbnail' );
	echo $cpt-content;

        wp_reset_postdata();
}
$post_object = get_field(’cpt-three’);
if( $post_object )  {
	$post = $post_object;
	setup_postdata( $post ); 
	$cpt-content = $post_object->post_content;
	$cpt-id = $post_object->ID;

	echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $idtest, 'thumbnail' );
	echo $cpt-content;

        wp_reset_postdata();
}

Is it a bad idea, performance wise?

Grateful for any advice/comments, thanks!
