OK, I am confused -

but if you want to replace a page (have one page replace another in its place) use

self.location.replace("xxxx.htm")

Okay you want:
Page 1:
click "open page 2" to open it in a new window
Page 2:
click "open page 3" to open page 3 in Page 1's window and close Page 2's window.

I am rusty on the use of parent and self, but this MIGHT be how you could do that.

when the user clicks the "open page 3" button on page 2, try using:
parent.location.replace("page3.html") OR parent.location="page3.html"
AND
self.close()
