Generally, I would cut the recess to the depth of the thinnest piece and (very carefully) sand it all flat once glued into position. This can be hampered if some material is translucent and is best left thick or if differing materials are of different hardness where the softest material would sand away before the rest was levelled off. In this instant, you might have to get a bit more creative.
For some really crative inlay work, have a look at the current Grit Laskin build...
