We have the dishwasher next to the range. The counter top is Corian so not
as heavy as granite, but it has set securely over the 3/4" plywood support
for over 20 years. The plywood is not even faced. The front edge is set
back about an inch behind the front face of the countertop and behind the
front of the stove and the dishwasher and is, for all practical purposes
unnoticeable.

I'm doing a layout of a new kitchen in a condo. One idea I had was to
put the dishwasher next to the stove, but then I was wondering, when
we put the granite countertop, where would the countertop rest on
where the DW and stove meet? Seems I would have to put in some kind of
support or filler in between to support it.
Has anyone ever done it like this, or should a base cabinet be put
between the stove and dishwasher?

No countertop, granite or otherwise, rests atop the dishwasher.

The countertop must be self supporting - the dishwasher fits in a cavity
(else how would you ever replace the dishwasher). Therefore you have to
construct some sort of supporting mechanism for the countertop
irrespective
of what goes below the counter.

You need a 3/4 inch piece of plywood for an end panel, with some sort
of finishing strip vertically along the front edgo for appearances. I
can't think why you would need a 3" wide front pice except for
appearance, the 3/4" plywood should be able to support the granite
with no problems
