  We start from a field-theoretical model of zero range approximation to derive
three-dimensional relativistic two- and three-body equations on a null plane.
We generalize those equations to finite range interactions. We propose a
three-body null-plane equation whose form is different from the one presented
earlier in the framework of light-cone dynamics. We discuss the choices of the
kernels in two- and three-body cases and apply our model to the description of
meson and baryon Regge trajectories. Our approach overcomes some theoretical
and phenomenological difficulties met in preceding relativized treatments of
the three-body problem.
