Following the question in your subject line, not your example (in which the 
result has two child1 elements not grouped), try
<xsl:template match="parent">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child1"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child2"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child3"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="child1|child2|child3">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell
