You can use a light_group.

Any light_source in a light group only shine on the objects that are 
part of that light_group.

By default, those objects are also not lighted by any light_source that 
are NOT part of the light_group. If you want to ALSO receive light from 
other sources, you need to add "global_lights on" to the light_group.

An object that is not part of a light_group CAN cast shadows on the 
objects of a light_group.
