I'm not sure if I understand the problem but I will post anyway and
hope it helps.  Here is a macro which takes three vectors and
rotates them in the order they are given:


  #macro rot_3(v1, v2, v3)
    rotate v1
    rotate v2
    rotate v3
  #end


To see the usefulness of that macro, let us show a sample call of
the macro, using your sample rotations:

  rot_3(y*30, x*60, z*90)


This saves a little typing.  Is that what you were thinking of?
