Do you mean

+-------Cap--------B | | A----------+ | | +-------Ind--------C

or something like that?

The inductor could just be composite. A lot depends on the passband separations; you'd need higher-order networks if they're close.

Well, that's a "higher order network". It could get more complex, if the crossover needs to be sharper. The single L+C would be OK if the signal bands are far apart. Some people use superconductive cavities for stuff like this.
