what follows is not a general solution to the problem you pose, but
it's the closest i can think of:

if you had a particular triad of windows in mind, you could give them
their own screen session, and then use some window in your main screen
session to attach to that three-window session.

then from any window in the triad, you could cycle forward or backward
depending on which of the other two windows you wanted.

near the end of this post to debian-user, zenaan harkness describes
such a setup, with customised shortcuts:
