In three-terminal NSN hybrid structures the influence of additional barriers on the nonlocal conductance and on current cross-correlations is studied within a scattering theory. In metallic systems with additional barriers and phase averaging, which simulate disordered regions, local processes can be enhanced by reflectionless tunneling but this mechanism has little influence on nonlocal processes and on current cross-correlations. Therefore Cooper pair splitting cannot be enhanced by reflectionless tunneling. On the contrary, in ballistic systems, additional barriers lead to Fabry-Perot resonances and allow to separate the different contributions to the conductance and to the current cross-correlations. In particular, crossed Andreev processes can be selectively enhanced by tuning the length or the chemical potential of the interbarrier region.
