This should work:

auto lo eth0 eth1 eth2

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0

iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.1.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0

iface eth2 inet static
        address 192.168.2.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.2.0
