In this version I've changed the order of expressions to make them to
be voices 1,2 and 3 with no need to explicitly invoking new voice
commands.

\score {
   \new Staff {
      \time 4/4
      \relative c' {
      <<
 {  s2 s4 e' ~ e1 } \\
 {  < g,, d' >1  < c g' > } \\
 {  b'4 \times 2/3 {c8 b c} d2 _~ d4 d8 c g4 c }

      >>
      }
   }
}

I think the overlapping you obtained came from different noteheads on
the same column, a warning that was ignored.

That would be equivalent to have

      \new Voice ="3" { \voiceThree b'4 \times 2/3 {c8 b c} d2 ~ d4 d8 c g4 c }
      \new Voice ="1" { \voiceOne s2 s4 e ~ e1 }
      \new Voice ="2" { \voiceTwo < g,, d' >1 < c g' > }

but the tie in voice 3 still has to be tweaked.
