  We discuss a model comprised of a chain of three Kerr-like nonlinear
oscillators pumped by two modes of external coherent field. We show that the
system can be treated as nonlinear quantum scissors and behave as a three-qubit
model. For such situation, different types of tripartite entangled states can
be generated, even when damping effects are present in the system. Some amount
of such entanglement can survive even in a long-time limit. The flow of
bipartite entanglement between subsystems of the model and relations among
first-order correlations, second-order correlations, and the entanglement are
discussed.
