I think you are going about the project wrong. All outlets in the shed
need to be GFCI protected. There are code issues when running multiple

sensible thing to do is install a thirty or forty amp feeder(10/3G) or
(8/3G) and small panel in the shed

OK complicasted question, maybe...
I am wiring my (large) shed now, and have decided to do two dedicated
circuits.
1 Circuit will be a single 20A/120V for all the outlets and lighting. It
will be GFCI-protected at the house-when the wiring exits the house, I
simply added an outdoor GFCI outlet, and put the shed load out of this
outlet. So all the outlets, and lighting in the shed will run off this
circuit. Easy enough...
BUT, I also am wiring 240V out there-for a 240V-2000W in-wall electric
heater. I am assuming I need to GFCI-protect this line as well, but maybe
I don't. I know the heater itself has a breaker in it (dunno if that is
GFCI or not?),but do I need to protect the line from the house (buried
12-24" down in the ground)? I would think I need to, but maybe in-wall
heaters do not need to be on GFCI circuits, and/or maybe the buried cable
does not need to be protected with GFCI? Thanks for the help

All outlets in the shed WILL be GFCI protected. They will run off the GFCI
outlet from the house, which will protect the whole circuit downstream.

If you decide to connect your heater with a cord and outlet, even 240 volt,
it will require GFCI protection as well
Would you mind quoting chapter and verse for the code language you
believe requires GFCI protection for 240 volt cord and plug conneccted
devices?
