Try:

if !([ -f $path/this.one ]); then
touch $path/this.one
for file in $path/file1 $path/file2 $path/file3; do
   echo "-" >> 
$path/this.one
   echo "   $file" >> $path/this.one
   echo "-" >> 
$path/this.one
   cat $file >> $path/this.one
done
fi

Also note that using a local variable named $path is not a good idea, 
since $PATH is highly important.  :-)  $path and $PATH are seperate in 
/bin/sh, but many other shells automangle the colon-seperated $PATH 
into the word-list format used by $path, and vice-versa.

I haven't tested it; but would this work:

 #! /bin/sh
 path=/some/dir
 if !([ -f $path/this.one ]); then
 for file in $path/file1 $path/file2 $path/file3; do
  echo '-' >> $path/this.one
  echo $file >> $path/this.one
  cat $file >> $path/this.one
 done
 fi
 exit 0

Maybe this little sh(1) script can do the job:

# = begin.script =
#! /bin/sh

path=~/tmp
files="file1 file2 file3"
output_file=this.one

cd ${path} && [ ! -f ${output_file} ] && \
for file in ${files}
do
  echo  >> ${output_file}
  echo ${file} >> ${final_file}
  echo  >> ${output_file}
  cat ${file} >> ${final_file}
done
echo  >> ${output_file}
exit 0
# = end.script =
