3 switches, 7 lamps (no solid state)

Of course. But the rules in the original post are pretty clear regarding the switches -- SPDT only.
There's room for interpretation regarding the relays.

This is not what you originally wrote.  :--

In that case, 7 SPST for the lamps, and 2 DPDT relays for logic.

Edit: 7 SPST, not SPDT.

You misread, I said only the switches had to be spdt. I would have specified spdt relays, I just said relays. Though I should specify common relays, so no 7 pole nonesense.

EDIT: I don't think relays for each light are needed. Ebastlers circuit has switches 2 and 3 isolated so they could be low voltage while only switch one sees mains, allowing for the use of low voltage relay coils.

Sorry for the ugly drawing, I don't have access to a real tool right now...
Anyway, is there any reason this wouldn't work:

bsudbrink:
By the way, omit "L0" as required.

Benta:
On thinking a bit further, this can be reduced to two DPDT relays.
