If you mean through a switch box, it's not something I've ever seen
done,at
least not without a splice in the box,

You are right, not the usual case :-) I'm mounting a receptacle box, below
a switch box. Both surface mounted on the wall. Do not want run the cable
around the switch box, although it would be easier and quicker.

but provided the box has adequate
space for the additional conductors and two connectors, it should be fine

Thanks...will do that.
