Just... install it ^^ one by one, try not to overwrite first by the second and third (while choosing partitions). I would suggest installing Windows first, becaue window's bootloader won't find other systems.

my question is can i install two operating systems in two different logical drives of one extended partition

Windows has to have a primary partition. A second install of Windows can be in a logical, but then you cannot delete the first as the second moves all its boot files to the first install.

Not sure about freebsd, but I thought it needed a primary partition also. Someone posted that it was best on a separate drive as it does not play nice with other systems, but that was a couple of years ago.

I have many Linux installs in logical partitions.
