can I run a light and a fan/light off a single GFCI in a bathroom?

I have a few questions actually.

1. Can I run 2 switches off of a single 15A GFCI in a bathroom? 1 switch will run a light. The other will run a fan and a light. Both will be powered from the load side of a GFCI.

2. If I cannot do my first question, can I run 2 seperate GFCI off one 12-2 Romex source via a junction box and have one power the light and the other power the light and fan via switches?

Any help is much appreciated.

    Yes. Neither the fan nor the light will need 15A of power, even if they are both on at the same time.

    Yes do it it will work. That's like the same way the hotels do it when they are built.
