simply connect in parallel with either of the other light fittings, which ever one is the more accessible...

Simple—- run another "white" wire off the white wire connection on either one of the other 2 fixtures —- run another wire(might be red or another color-but never green)off the same fixture where the black wire is. Connect these wires to your new fixture—and use the bare/green wire as a ground–which can simply be twisted around a sheet metal screw and screwed in the metal frame. White to white >>>> Black to black >>> green/bare to same and/or frame ground. If your new fixture has only both black wires coming out of it — just choose either one for the black, and the other for the white.

Yep , from the switched live and the neutral in the existing light to your new lighting point. Connect it to the nearest light with the least connections, If they are all switched the same you can connect onto any in that circuit.

Your terminology is all wrong, but I understand what you mean!! Take a t/e cable from the ’secondary, light to the new light and connect like for like, erect and connect new fitting, and all three lights will work together.

Home Depot has a whole bunch of online instructions for stuff like this that's free. But unless you know alot about working with electricity I wouldn't take the risk of doing it yourself with that much detail.
