looks like it’ll work, what is the need for multiple switches on the garage lights? ---

One entrance to the “garage” is from the finished basement (where the current switch is), and the other is through the garage door to the side yard driveway. I want to be able to turn the lights off if I’m exiting through the garage door. ---

The nec (national electric code) says whenever you enter a room there must be a switch to turn on a over head light or a switched receptacle. ---

You may want to consider using infrared sensors in place of the garage switches. I have these in my garage and laundry room. It’s nice in the garage, because when i pull the car in at night the lights comeon automatically. The wimpy little light in the opener comes on too, but i like the overheads coming on. Plus, i have them set so that if i am out of the garage for more than 5 minutes, they shut off.
