That may well be. I'm not an electrician. I just had two wires in the 
box, and two places on the GFCI to hook it up.

I can't understand how a device wired in parallel can turn other devices 
on the circuit off? How does that happen? My understanding is like this:


----------/ ------------
------------------------
In series, the device is the "gatekeeper" and when it shuts off the flow 
(the slash), everything past it is shut off.

In parallel, the device can shut off, but it has no effect on the rest 
of the devices downstream (how could it?).
