I don't plant sweetcorn in with courgettes, not sure why, but squash and pumpkins. I put squash in first about 3' apart or whatever and then put the sweetcorn in placing them about 6 to 9" apart and same from any squash.
I don't plant them together either, tried the three sisters approach and got into a fine old mess. I was just marking out the square for the s corn so I knew what space as then available for other stuff, seeing as I'm doing two varieties and have to distance them from each other to be on the safe side. I sometimes underplant the s corn with salad stuff though.
