Default Code Question Light Switches

Desired set-up:


Light fixture outside front door is on Breaker 1 and controlled by a
single switch inside the front door.


Light fixture over garage door is on Breaker 2 and controlled by two 3-
way switches - one in the garage and one inside the front door.


Can the single switch and a 3 way be installed in the same box even
though they are on different circuits?


Do the breakers have to be ganged if this done?


Thanks!


Not unless they are part of a multiwire branch circuit, and the installation
is to conform to 2008 Nec, which has nothing to do with multiple circuits
being in the same box per se.


Thanks to all!
