If what you want is to click on the map and select all features from several layers, you will want to use the "FindTask". This allows for a range of layer id's in one service.

If what you want is to send in an attribute, street name for example, and find everything in several layers that references that street name, you can use the "QueryTask", but you will have to send in one layer at a time, collect the results into a custom class, then run a query on the next layer and add those result to your custom class and repeat until all of your layers have been checked. When all layers have been collected, bind to your custom class. QueryTask doesn't allow multiple layers by default because most people have completely different attributes in their layers.

Good Luck
