3) If the intention is to feed two live leads form a double pole

This is incorrect, isn't it? Comments?

It's unclear *which* you believe is incorrect, the wiring method, or the
description of why it won't work.

Answer: both. The wiring method is indeed incorrect. The description of
why it
won't work is also incorrect, but needs only the addition of three words
at
the end -- "and powered on" -- to make it correct.

Really? With opposite phases (implied by "double pole breaker") I
thought this was ok.

Yes, really, for exactly the reason stated: as soon as anything is powered
on,
on either leg of the circuit, current flows in the neutral wire. The GFCI
on
the *other* leg of the circuit sees that the current in the neutral wire
is
not the same as the current in *its* hot wire, and trips.

If you want GFCI protection on the outlets of a multiwire circuit, there
are
only two ways to do it: with a double-pole GFCI breaker, or with a GFCI
receptacle at *every* location you wish protected, wired to the LINE side
only.
