First export the iMovie with chapters to iDVD.

Then open each of the other two iMovie projects and export them to 
QuickTime files for iDVD (not directly to iDVD). Actually, I think 
you can skip the export step and just use the .mov reference files 
that iMovie 3 automatically creates in the movie project folders.

Then open your iDVD project and drag those two files to the 
appropriate menu screen.

I recently created a similar DVD this way (one movie with chapters 
and a second without on the same DVD). These are the steps I 
followed, IIRC.
