In order for you to wire and (use properly) you need 2- 3 way switches. They are used to control lights from 2 separate locations, then for every other location you want to control you need to use a 4 way switch at each additional location. There are 3 terminals on the switch..one for the hot and 2 for the travelers , on the other 3 way you have 2 terminals for the travelers and one for the switch leg to the light.

You need to give more info. On three-way switches there is a wire where your incoming power has to come in. But where your power comes in may not be at the switch but somewhere in the wall at a junction box. If you were going to attempt a jump it should be off the incoming power, however there are a lot of other things that you need to consider before attempting that like how much power you will be pulling and how that switch inter-relates with the three-way switches. Provide more info or consult a professional.

Always continuing to the next switch that belong to the next room and has nothing to do with your 3way switching from your incoming wire...... .for example the one you pull to the first switch extend that one if you want to stay on the same circuit .just make sure you have a good connection at your switch cos there will be 3 wires now... I think you know this and if you do then just take it as useless info.......the switching work like this....1st switch will be 2 way the next will be an intermediate switch and the 3rd will be a 2way switch again. hope it make sense........ to recap you cant continue from your last switch cos it will interfere with the next room's light .. hope you will be ok

depends what your going to use the switch for. if its three way. i.e. stairs you jump a wire from the common to a live. if its just to be used as a normal switch you wire up the common and a live
