This thread answers your question, I think...
The Enforcer Feat DOES use the Intimidation Skill directly as it allows an intimidation check as a Free Action following non-lethal damage.
The +5 DC only applies to each individual "attacker" on successive attempts to Intimidate (Demoralize) checks against an opponent. Meaning 3 different people could each try to Demoralize 1 opponent with NO +5 DC applied, but if any of those 3 tried again within less than an hour of their first attempt, a +5 DC would be applied, and again for another attempt. and so on.
This level of fear does stack, per Core book Rule on page 563 "Becoming even more fearful", so your 3 "Enforcers" could each make a successful attack, followed by Free Action Intimidate checks, and take one opponent to the panicked state, assuming that the opponent didn't move between the attacks and flee out of "melee" range, as Enforcer is for melee attacks I believe.
This fear stacking applies regardless of source, same or different as long as one condition is still active as another is applied, so a Fear Spell cast on a shaken opponent from an Intimidate Check (who makes a saving throw from the fear, but because of it still has "Shaken" applied for 1 round) is instead "Frightened for that 1 round, then returns to the shaken status for the duration of the Intimidate Check, if any duration still remains... BUT no +5 DC would be applied to the Fear spell, as it is not an intimidation check.
Last, I agree with Archaeik, meaning if 2 nagas got a constriction in the same round, that character would be frightened until the beginning of its next turn instead of just shaken.
Hope that clears up your question.
I already clarified enforcer feat directly states that it is an intimidate to demoralize, I believe from my understanding it was expressly added in errata (see link in second post) that all demoralize effects add duration not stack fear (so no triple threat from enforcers).
Wow my mistake. Thanks for making me see that Errata!
For the rest I think you hit the key in whether or not it is Intimidate to demoralize, or not, such as Antagonize Feat which has no fear effect whatsoever.
My last remaining question was if intimidate DC goes up when spells or feats set new DC's like Antagonize {Feat} although the same formula it stats a new DC, as opposed to things that say "Intimidate to demoralize" regardless of additional outcomes like (Blistering incentive {spell}, Intimidating Glare {power}, Enforcer {feat})
I think I would have to play the Antagonize Feat as its own DC as it is Intimidating to ANTAGONIZE instead of Intimidate to DEMORALIZE. I would not count this check toward having tried Intimidate to Demoralize attempts at all. (as those are fear effects and antagonize is not).
Edit: Actually sorry to continue this but I do have a few more questions lol if you do Antagonize {Feat} someone who is panicked do they obey the feat or the fear effect, also does the try again part of that feat to extend the duration add the +5 DC to it, is it a factor of the feat and not skill so its ignored.
No apology necessary. Good questions. I would have to argue that panicked trumps, as it states on 563 Core "They flee from all other dangers that confront them rather than facing those dangers." (which would include an antagonist). Regarding whether to add +5 to the DC on the try again for the antagonist Feat, as a GM I would make it a straight "try again" roll, as it is special case that is particular to the Antagonize Feat, with no technical "retry" allowed for 1 day...meaning it is really a one shot deal that can last only 1 or maybe 2 rounds. That, along with the Sense Motive check is a swift action (allowed once per turn and it is not your next turn yet), so you would not be able to add that insight bonus on your second attempt.

This is incorrect, there is errata in place stating that the fear effect from Intimidate does not stack and cannot push a target past the shaken state. Nor does it stack with any other shaken condition.
You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. This shaken condition doesn’t stack with other shaken conditions to make an affected creature frightened.
