However, if the protein has three chains, pdb2gmx generates not a  posre.itp file but three itp files ( posre_Protein_chain_A.itp, posre_Protein_chain_B.itp, posre_Protein_chain_C.itp). Under such circumstance, how should we do position restaint on potein?

Have you looked at the topology?  You'll find a strikingly similar control 
structure for each of the chains.
