Why not just put \cleardoublepage between every two consecutive  
\includepdf statements? In this way, and provided the [twoside]  
option is used in your \documentclass call (for example \documentclass 
[twoside]{article}), then each included PDF file will start on an odd  
page.

For example:

\documentclass[twoside]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[pages=-]{pdffile1}
\cleardoublepage
\includepdf[pages=-]{pdffile2}
\cleardoublepage
\includepdf[pages=-]{pdffile3}
\end{document}
