require_once('library/multi-post-thumbnails.php');
if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')) {
new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => '2nd Feature Image',
    'id' => 'feature-image-2',
    'post_type' => 'your_post_type_name'
        )
);
new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => '3rd Feature Image',
    'id' => 'feature-image-3',
    'post_type' => 'your_post_type_name'
        )
);
new MultiPostThumbnails(array(
    'label' => '4th Feature Image',
    'id' => 'feature-image-4',
