If you use determinant tomato vines you can substitute them for the beans in the three sisters plantings, but you will need to use something like hemp twine to tie the vine to the corn stalk without harming the ear of corn.
I've done this one time by putting one tomato plant on each side of a 6 foot row of corn (Navaho blue), the corn was planted two deep and they did hold up the determinant tomatoes pretty well and provided the two ears of corn per stalk.
