............l this is going to the lights

please try to ignore the dots, and i hope this comes out ok
also, keep in mind, instead of another wire, the ends of the switches will go to a single wirenut that goes to the lights in the existing circut
After talking with a some people about this you may want to try a circuit like this:


.................115 Volts
......................|
..Switch 1........o
...(spdt)........./
..................o....o
..................|....|
..Switch 2....o....o
..(DPST.........\ /
..cross-......././\../
.switch).......o...o
..................|...|
Switch 3......o...o
(spdt)...........\
.....................o
.....................|
.................Lights

In this you use 2 single pole double throw switches and a double pole single throw switch. Agian try to ignore the dots.
