I'm not an electrician, and I am not a code expert.

I believe new/current code is that the protection should be at the breaker.

I assume that for practical purposes (protection of humans) as long as the GFCI works, it shouldn't matter which position it's in.

I don't know about the code-iness of having one ground for 2 circuits. It seems like it should work, and certainly be better than no ground.

I'm sure none of that really helps, but I'll be watching to see what the expert consensus is once it arrives.
