You want to do this in a dir that is not the homedir of any user.

Say that user1, user2 and user3 share a common groupA group, then all
the users will be able to write/edit files created by the other 2 if:

A) setgid solution
chown root.groupA /path/top_shared_dir
chmod 2770 /path/top_shared_dir

in smb.conf:
create mask = 0660
directory mode = 2770
force create mode = 0660  
force directory mode = 2770

B)
chown root.groupA /path/top_shared_dir
chmod 0770 /path/top_shared_dir

set in smb.conf:
force group = groupA
create mask = 0660
directory mode = 0770
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770

Solution A works for files created on the unix side too.
