Saving cable techniques

[stuartR1963]

Hi all, i am aware that often you can run just one alarm cable from the panel to dectectors if they are in close proximity such as back to back pirs. Another method i see is running an 8 core from the panel to the keypad position then from the keypad position a cable to the front door contact saving cable.
I will get to the point, I am installing 2 bellboxes front and back, i am aware how to connect them, using the negative tamper return from the first to supply the second.
Is it acceptable to run just one 6 or 8 core from the panel up to the attic into a cqr tamper protected junction box (accessible of course), then from this junction box a cable to each sounder?
Is that an acceptable wiring method or just a bodge? Or should both cables from each sounder run back to the panel independently?
Thanks.

Both back to the panel or depending on how many zones expanders ect ....wire second bell to expander if it was a Texecom premier ...
