I think another solution is to run the three applications under the same userId. (see http://code.google.com/android/devel/security.html#userid)<http://code.google.com/android/devel/security.html#userid> The advantage is that you are then creating files that are shared only by your applications. (So I guess the risk of them being deleted/modified by other applications, such as a user wiping the SD card would be less).
But I guess you knew this already.
