If you connect momentary switches in parallel then you can have any
number controlling an LD11. Apart from the actual routing of the
cable, LD11 wiring is very simple. Just connect any number of lights
in parallel to one pair of terminals and any number of switches in
parallel to the other pair.

NOTE: You do still need to consider maximum load and the number of
wires that can fit in to an LD11 if you run them all back
individually. However three switches should be no problem.

I connected my first LD11 on Saturday and now have 4 working with
another 2 or 3 going in this weekend. For me the most dificult bit
(by far!) is running the cable. But I am rewiring every light switch
and light fitting because they have been put in so badly with hardly
any earth and unfathomable 'logic' applied to what is on each
circuit. Adding X10 is the easy bit.
