3way with the power coming into the light

You can see the power coming into the ceiling box on the left side.  Power (not the neutral is fed down through the 1st box and on to the second. Notice we are using the white wire, but marking it red.

Two 3ways, two lights

The wiring is the same as above, just adding another light.

California 3way - although I beleive many people have different variations or definitions of a California 3way, but I like the name.

Power is fed into the switch box on the left and then though to the second sw box.

3way for a Split Wired Receptacle

I have made this way more complicated than I needed to, note I have fed power to an additional outlet box.
