MCB's - how many circuits?

Is the NICEIC inspector likely to throw a wobbly with two 1.5mm lighting radials (one taking 60W; one taking 260W) from different parts of an outbuilding wired into one 6A MCB in the garage unit that has one lighting way and one power way? The Leccys Guide to B Regs book clearly shows this is OK (P52) but BS7671 314-01-04 wants a separate way for each final circuit but doesnt seem to define final circuit. It defines circuit and it appears that two lighting radials as they are both controlled by the same MCB would could as one circuit?

Am I missing something?
 
Perfectly acceptable to have more than one radial circuit come out from a single MCB.Obviously testing R1+R2/Zs has to occur at both extremities.
