Planting multiple mangoes in a small space

In a small space of about 2.5 by 6 meters in my backyard, I want to plant 3 mango varieties, or maybe 2 and an Hass avocado.
I was thinking what would be the best strategy. Some ideas:
Plant them separated by ~2m. If planting an avocado, maybe the mangoes closer and then more room for the avocado
If 2 mangoes and avocado, plant the 2 mangoes separated by less than a meter so they grow as "the same tree", and then the avocado in the other side.

Better to have one avo, one mango, and top work them with multiple types - at least in my opinion. Your planting area will be ok till maybe 3-5 years then really difficult to manage.

the idea is to prune them to keep them manageable. This so-called "backyard orchard culture".
