the third usage can also be used for more listing purposes, and doesn't necessarily need something after the last だって - for example, my 電子辞書 gives: 君だって，僕だって，みんな仲間だ or 新宿だって，銀座だって，君のすきな所でいいよ

however, with those examples, it is only giving a single noun, correct? Or is that being cut off from what you entered?
