Bill,
I'm not sure view designer could handle it. I'd design it w/o designer < g >
Try to use 'join' instead of old style joins.

* create sql view myView as ;

select a.Fields, b.Field1, c.Field2 ;
  from force ;
     Table1 a ;
     inner join Table2 b on a.FK1 = b.PK ;
     inner join Table3 c on a.FK2 = c.PK

'Force' clause not only forces the connections made in that order but prevents the view to be opened and possibly screwed by the designer.
You'd need manually adding update properties. Use gendbc to create a regular view to check how it writes. Adopt to your code and run to create your view.
Alternatively you could use Erik Moore's eview utility I think.
