Does Baker (1919, Chapter I) state a framework of the dramatist's relations (to the material, the actors, the audience), and if not, what framework does he actually give?

No. Chapter I does not enumerate 'three relations'; the only counted triad is technique (universal, special, individual). What Baker states is a list of conditions that separate drama from the novel: less space, speed, compactness, vividness, impersonality, a cooperative nature (author, actor, producer, audience) and an appeal to the group. Those conditions do cover the question's three topics: the material (shared with the novelist but handled more concisely), the actors and producer (intermediaries who fill out shorthand dialogue and concise stage directions) and the audience (a crowd to be moved as a majority). The grouping into three is the worker's; Baker defers the audience relation to later in the book.

The 'relation' hits contrast novelist-reader with dramatist-audience, and the mapping is the worker's grouping; this negative is kept.
