The question I have , can (GFIC receptacles for the outside) ,be feed from bedroom arc fault receptacle or a feeder from a light switch or does all three GFIC receptacle,front,back,service unit need to be On its own branch circuit? If so, we're in the NEC code that this is stated. We have some electrain comes off of bedroom receptacle to feed a back wall for the outside receptacle, or the front receptacle.Thanks to all of you for the help:).

If the building were a garage instead of the main house, there might be a prohibition against inside general receptacle circuits also serving outside outlets.

Yep.

210.52(G) Basements, Garages, and Accessory Buildings. For
a one-family dwelling, at least one receptacle outlet shall be
installed in the areas specified in 210.52(G)(1) through (3).
These receptacles shall be in addition to receptacles required
for specific equipment.
(1) Garages. In each attached garage and in each detached
garage with electric power. The branch circuit supplying
this receptacle(s) shall not supply outlets outside of the
garage. At least one receptacle outlet shall be installed for
each car space.

Circuits that feed the receptacles in/for the garage can not go outside of the garage, but if a circuit feeds the switches/lights in the garage (and no receptacles) then the circuit could feed outside receptacles {to the best of my knowledge} .
