you could use the async library or similar.
other solution is to restructure your code:
var num1, num2, num3
function sum(){
if(num1 != null && num2 != null && num3 != null) return (num1 + num2) /
num3
}
Object1.retrieveNum1Async(sum);
Object2.retrieveNum2Async(sum);
Object3.retrieveNum3Async(sum);
waterfalls are easy to refactor, as well parallels with full sync on
completion like yours here.
