@did: I'm surprised you didn't suggest intersecting $\mathsf{M}$ and $\mathsf{W}$. – Arthur Fischer Dec 5 '12 at 7:58
@ArthurFischer The thing escaped me, but you are right, I definitely should have. :-) – Did Dec 5 '12 at 8:02

I think that is true. Take an example in $\mathbb{R}$, 3 intervals [0,1],[$\frac{1}{2}$,$\frac{3}{2}$],[$\frac{5}{4}$,2], their intersection is [$\frac{1}{2}$,1] and [$\frac{5}{4}$,$\frac{3}{2}$] is separated
