(defun my-multi-input-function (input1 input2 input3)
  "An example function that takes three inputs and displays them."
  (interactive
   (list
    (read-string "Enter the first input: ")
    (read-string "Enter the second input: ")
    (read-string "Enter the third input: ")))
  (message "You entered: %s, %s, %s" input1 input2 input3))

;; To use the function, execute it with M-x my-multi-input-function

Me personally, I don't like that style, I like using `let' and reading
what I need to read within function, while leaving (interactive) as it
is.
