It sounds like you expect the three domains to be in separate trees. In
order to share resources they need to be in the same forest. Universal
groups can have members from any domain in the forest. The members can even
be from domains in other trees of the forest.
For example, domains CompanyA.com, CompanyB.com, and CompanyC.com can be in
separate trees in the same forest.
If the domains are in different forests, they are isolated.
