Okay you want...
(L337 MS Paint Diagram)
So you exclusively have Deck 1 to yourself and he has Deck 3. Deck 3 will be when x-fader on Mixer 2 is extreme to the right and Deck 1 will be when the x-fader is extreme to the left on Mixer 2.
Then Deck 2 will be shared that you both can mix in and out of depending on whose turn it is (extreme to right on x-fader of mixer1 and extreme to left on x-fader of mixer2).
Only problem is that of course you can't plug 2 mixers into only the one output from Deck 2. I believe however that at Radioshack, you can pick up a box that allows 1 lead to come from each of your mixers and then there is 1 output from the box going into the vinyl out so both mixers can hear the outputs of Deck2.
I'm going for a lie down
//Edit:
Actually, unless somebody can figure out a way of plugging that setup so only one output is heard from the Amp at a time it's pretty useless. I think a switchbox would do the trick, nobody would notice the difference if the x-fader is playing the correct record when it's switched. It's been a long day at the office

if u had 4 turntables, it'd be easier to set up.
table1-mixer-table2 table3-mixer-table4
with both mixers going to another mixer/amp or something.
if you really only have 3 tables...probably as DJPG has said. but u definitely need to pickup probably a phono amp or something with two separate outputs to be able to direct the signal to both mixers.
that's all i can think of...
PS: next time post these kind of questions in the dj booth forum

just like with stereo jack plugs, you can buy phono splitters that will split the signal from one deck into 2 seperate signals.
