I recently installed the NT4, W2K and XP DDKs (in that order) on my dev machine. After installing these 3 DDKs I discovered that the XP DDK was the only one whose build environment still worked.
What’s the recommended way to install these DDKs so that they all coexist peacefully?
Install each one and put them in a different directory. I use DDKNT4,
DDKW2K, & DDKXP all on the same drive. After you are done, check the path,
include, lib, and basedir environment variables and delete them. I put in a
BASEDIRW2K, BASEDIRNT4, and BASEDIRXP environment variables so my batch
files can call the setenv.bat file in the correct place. After you call
that batch file in a CMD window, you will have a build environment that you
can use for the desired DDK, and checked/free environment. You have to
create a CMD window for each type you want and I always destroy the window
via CodeWright’s calling a batch file so that I get an identical environment
for each build.

I have all three installed and they appear to work fine. There are
problems with the nt4 ddk and recent platform sdks, but these appear to
be cosmetic. Arguably you do not need the w2k ddk if you have the xp
ddk, as the xp ddk will build w2k drivers.
What exactly do you mean by “build environment” [doesn’t] “work”?

Can you please provide details on not working?
Generally, all three of these are fine on the same machine (note you do need
to install to separate directories), and install order should not matter.
