Will I be wiring this right if I follow this diagram?
Hi. I am trying to rewire my garage...specifically a GFCI receptacle with two other receptacles behind it in series, and also two low wattage lights. The lights would operate independently, and are fed off a dual single pole switch.
I don't care if the lights are GFCI-protected. (It's all indoor)
All come off a single common feed. Does this look right? YOur help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks.

You've drawn a connection diagram. An actual as wired diagram would be more helpful.
In other words.... we need to see how you will cable it.
You have a GFI receptacle, two other receptacles and a switch.
Where does the power come into the circuit ?

Pete thanks. Power comes in from the upper left marked line. My biggest question has to do with all the circuits sharing a common neutral. There maybe other things wrong with it. And if they share a neutral do I have to truncate a second white in the box as per the new code?

Just carry the cable from your last connection at the GFCI to the switch box and cap off the neutral. It is there by code to allow for future lighting connection should there be a need to start from the switchbox. Sharing the neutral on this set up is normal. There is only one circuit.
I see the point in not needing the switch loop as mentioned if you do that.

If you power the switch from the gfi you can run a xx-3 cable to the lights. Black is one hot, red is the other.
