I was thinking tsu was asking if you can have a between with three items...

from my mac dictionary:
Quote:
ORIGIN Old English betwēonum, from be [by] + a Germanic word related to two .
USAGE 1 Between is used in speaking of only two things, people, etc.: : we must choose between two equally unattractive alternatives. Among is used for collective and undefined relations of usually three or more: : agreement on landscaping was reached among all the neighbors. But where there are more than two parties involved, between may be used to express one-to-one relationships of pairs within the group or the sense 'shared by': : there is close friendship between the members of the club;: diplomatic relations between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. 2 : Between you and I,: between you and he, etc., are incorrect; between should be followed only by the objective case: : between you and me,: between you and him, etc. See also usage at personal pronoun.
