You could create three top level features. Remember however that you will have only one entry in control panel, and only one product code, i.e. you cannot update these applications separately (you will have to build one update for the complete packge)

So a better way might be to create three MSIs (either 3 project or 1 project with 3 project configurations if the 3 applications are similar), and use a front end (e.g. DemoShield) to invoke them.
