This is still doable and is the exact way your lights and most of your outlets in your house have been wired.
All you'd need to do for this configuration is to combine the neutral wire from fixture 1 with the netural wire inside fixture 2. The netural wire from fixture 3 would need to go to both the neutral wire in fixture 2 and to the neutral wire on the cord going to your outlet. You'd have to do the same for the hot wires as well.
In the end, you'd have no connections being made in fixture 1 and the hot and neutral wires running to the inside of fixture 2.
Inside fixture 2 you have have to combine the neutral wire from fixture 1 and fixture 3 with the neutral wire inside fixture 2. You'd do the same for the hot wires.
Inside fixture 3 you would have the netural wire combined with the neutral wire on the power cord and then you'd have to add a short lenght of wire from this junction to feed the netural line into fixture 2. Same for the hot wires.
