New devices come with a green grounding screw.....(not tlike the old
days)

I'm using metal boxes (metal conduit as well; either flex or emt)
but I also use a seperate ground wire that I screw to the box.

In a situation where I have multiple devices in a box (two switches & a
GFI outlet)......

Do I have to pigtail the ground & jumper to each device

OR

can the fact that the box is permanently grounded do the trick?

Room for the wires is no problem since I'm using DEEP "old work" boxes.

Thanks for the help.

Can't see your specific issue, but in the past I did this:

Pig tail a ground wire to the ground screw, wire nut all the grounds
togehter. If I had devices, I would also add a pigtail for each
device's ground screw. So this could be a lot of wires, but many wire
nuts are designed for many wires. Also I think Ideal now makes push
in connecters that handle up to 10 wires.

Just saying what worked for me, your case cannot be 'guessed' on.
