I don't know the exact command, but I'm guessing that iptables is similar to ipfw from FreeBSD in how it applies rules. What you'll want to do is put the three allow commands as the first three rules, then the final filter will be to drop everything else. I don't know what it would look like exactly, but that is likely how it would be done. It's also possible that the lower number commands have lower priority (I forget as I haven't ever really used it), in which case just switch the order of your commands.
