I am looking at a few books and they all show samples of circuits, but never tell or show if you can mix receptacle types.

I have a circuit running to 2 bedrooms for my power outlets. The are on 12/2 and a total of 6 outlets. I wanted to add 2 GFCI outlets for the deck outside and wanted to know if it was ok to add those outlets to this circuit since I can still add 4 more outlets?

Can't seem to find sample diagrams.

Yes it is accepted and code. The GFCI will only protect what is downstream though.

Also as picture shows you must connect duplex to load for it to be protected. The load will be labeled on the receptacle.
