Hierarchy means, that a schematic is a part of another  schematic.

In your case you have to create a master schematic, that contains the 
other three schematics.
The master schematic may be a blockdiagramm with three blocks.
Each block has a source attribute refering to one schematic.

Now you can select autonumber text from the master schematic.
The hierarchy contain all three schematics now.

If you're using the sourcecode of gschem you can take a look into the 
directory ./devel/gschem/tests/.
There are some files starting with autonumber.

Nevertheless, the autonumber code should handle multipage schematics.
Something like an "include all sisters" ;-) option.
