Actually, there's several possible answers to your problem. Here's one:

> users.firstname, users.middlename, users.lastname, users.suffix,
> users.organization, users.job_title, users_address.address1,
> users_address.address2, users_address.address3, users_address.city,
> users_address.state, users_address.zip, users_address.country,
> users_email.email, users_phone.phone
> FROM (((users

users_address.primary = TRUE)))
> LEFT JOIN users_email ON ((users.uid = users_email.uid and
users_email.primary = TRUE)))
> LEFT JOIN users_phone ON ((users.uid = users_phone.uid and
users_phone.primary = TRUE))) ;

It's a neat trick that join conditions can be *any* expression that evaluates
to a boolean value.
