I am one of the old school when it comes to rules. I just consider what I think will work and do it. My rasps are grown in rows with a pole every 8 feet and wires stretched between the poles. If you only have 4 I would simply support them on canes. A neighbour of mine just let's them grow rampant and cuts them back every October (Summer fruiting). It seems to work for her and even my looks of shock-horror hasn't stopped them producing loads of fruit.

I've never actually tried this, you understand, but I've heard that the best way is to put all 4 equally spaced around a large pot, with a cane wigwam (one cane for each...erm...cane) for support. This would probably only work well if they were autumn fruiting ones though.
