Gfci-type cord cap plugged into gfci protected branch circuit

[smallfish]

Do you see any operational problem in pluging an outdoor spa power cord with a gfci-type cord cap into an outdoor receptacle which is protected in the house service panel by a gfci type breaker?
Thanks

In terms of the two GFCI devices being able to do their job or somehow interfering with each other, I see no problem. In terms of what the HO does if the load has a problem and causes a trip, well there may be some confusion about where to go to reset the trip (i.e., if the HO is unaware there are two separate devices).

Not much different than hair dryers that have built in GFCIs plugged into bathroom outlets that also have GFCIs.
