The function org-get-entries-from-diary just does a (org-split-string entries
"\n") on the contents it gets from the fancy calendar display. So of course
you'll get them as separate entries and then sorted (probably according to
category). 

I presume you'd like the lines to stay together?

As a workaround you could just put three separate tasks in your diary i.e. 

%%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm Review tomorrow's task)
%%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm Check tomorrow's schedule in Outlook)
%%(diary-cyclic 1 11 7 2007) 5:25pm Check weather forecast)
