When I go to sweep the private key into block chain. Will ONE private key sweep the WHOLE wallets total amount (.30)?

No. Each address has its own private key.

Or will it only sweep the amount sent to that ONE receive address (.10)?

Correct.

If it is the later.... If I lose the other private keys.... I might loose the money sent to those addresses forever??

Correct.

Each private key would import 0.1.

You would have to import all three private keys to gain access to the three addresses. If you misplace one of the private keys you would lose access to the funds that are in the corresponding address.

Ok so I am kinda confused.

I make a new wallet in Multibit. Then I go to the receive Tab and create 3 receive addresses. I then proceed to send .10 separately to each receive address.

I then go to export the private keys.

Multibit then gives me 3 different private keys, one for each receive address I have created.

When I go to sweep the private key into block chain. Will ONE private key sweep the WHOLE wallets total amount (.30)? Or will it only sweep the amount sent to that ONE receive address (.10)?

If it is the later.... If I lose the other private keys.... I might loose the money sent to those addresses forever??
