Another possible way you could solve this problem (and potentially improve the interface) is to group all three views in a split view, so users can decide for themselves how much space to give to each view. (Select the three views, go to Layout->Make subviews of->Split View.) You would probably still have to set up springs and struts so that the views resize properly with the pane, but once that's set up you wouldn't have to worry about the distance between the views changing. I don't know if a split view is appropriate for the particular views in your app but it's worth considering. It gives so much more flexibility for the user.

I recall that it can be quite frustrating putting things into split views at first, if I recall correctly IB for some reason assumed I wanted a horizontal split view and switching it back to vertical ruined the layout... there was some trick I figured out eventually so that I wouldn't have to lay everything out again which I would love to share, but I can't remember what it was. It may have had something to do with the order the views are selected in.
