Could you be a little more specific with the questions? What information are you looking for? There are many requirements for the installation of boxes and conduits within gyp board walls.

Are you talking residential, commercial and are their fire codes to consider, etc?
 
As simple as it is for some of us to install boxes without thinking about it, there are a lot of parameters to think about when and where the different type of boxes can and cannot be installed and how to install them.
If you have access to the NEC, you should take a look at Article 314.
