Default Brake Fluid Change

To change out the brake fluid would it be possible, using a Motive power brake bleeder to raise the rear of the car using Race Ramps bleed the rear two then drive off then drive the front of the car up on the ramps and bleed the front two. At some point I will be applying the brakes driving on and off the ramps. I'm wondering if doing so would contaminate the new rear brake fluid now in the lines with the old broke fluid when I push the brake . TIA (hope this makes more sense now)
