Is there a barrier to introductions with very young chins <1yr and older chins? like a hierachy of age groups almost?

I'm hoping to make an introduction work between a pair of 5 month olds (sisters, very happy together) and a 3 year old female, so far it's the side by side method which is fine, they know of each other but no interaction really (no spraying either)

But when we try to let them out for neutral ground playtime, the older one tries to be aggressive with sudden nips in between just strolling around really. While the younger ones try to be curious.

It would be nice to have 3 chins that get along as I could have them live together with some modifications to the cages. (a couple of bridging structures would do it)
