Abstract: An appropriate framework for dealing with hadron structure and hadronic physics in the few-GeV energy range is relativistic quantum mechanics. The Bakamjian-Thomas construction provides a systematic procedure for implementing interactions in a relativistic invariant way. It leads, however, to problems with cluster separability. It has been known for some time, due to Sokolov's pioneering work, that mass operators with correct cluster properties can be obtained through a series of unitary transformations making use of so-called packing operators. In the present contribution we sketch an explicit construction of packing operators for three-particle systems consisting of distinguishable, spinless particles.
