I think if your lighting circuit is "branching all over the place" in a new installation, something is probablly wrong. The norm is either to loop from light to light and then take switch drops to the switches, or to loop from switch to switch and take switched feeds to the lights.

I suspect that’s how they all start. Until someone wants to add additional points a few years later.
Is this an approach?
A radial circuit does not need to be what many "conventionally" expect, It can be trees and branches too and still be technically correct (ok a beggar to I & T) and that is true of power and lighting circuits. If you saw a lighting circuit with say 5 x 1.0 T & E connected would you fail it. Similarly a socket circuit with 5 x 2.5 T & E connected?
