The mixed-spin-
(1∕2,SB,SC) Ising model on a decorated square lattice with two different kinds of decorating spins
SB and
SC $({S}_{\mathrm{B}}\ensuremath{\ne}{S}_{\mathrm{C}})$ placed on its horizontal and vertical bonds, respectively, is exactly solved by establishing a precise mapping relationship with the corresponding spin-
1∕2 Ising model on an anisotropic square (rectangular) lattice. The effect of uniaxial single-ion anisotropy acting on both types of decorating spins
SB and
SC is examined, in particular. If decorating spins
SB and
SC are integer and half-odd-integer, respectively, or if the reverse is the case, the model under investigation displays a very peculiar critical behavior that had bearing on the spontaneously ordered ``quasi-one-dimensional'' spin system, which appears as a result of the single-ion anisotropy strengthening. We have found convincing evidence that this remarkable spontaneous ordering virtually arises even though all integer-valued decorating spins tend toward their ``nonmagnetic'' spin state
S=0 and the system becomes disordered only upon further increase of the single-ion anisotropy. The single-ion anisotropy parameter is also at an origin of various temperature dependences of the total magnetization when imposing the pure ferrimagnetic or the mixed ferro-ferrimagnetic character of the spin arrangement.
