bad practice,assuming the j-box is for circuits other than the lights how would you ever be able to troubleshoot?Make them label can trim "electrical j-box above" and mount box insite of light hole.

However, the can's own J-box is considered accessible by dropping (or pushing up) the can.
I had to add a couple of circuits in a commercial building a few years ago. The panels had spare EMT's stubbed up behind the finished wall, but I couldn't find any access to the other ends of the EMT's.
I finally found them in an otherwise-inaccessible space above the bathrooms by lifting the 2x4 fluorescents that were mounted in frames in the drywall ceiling, similarly to those in suspended ceilings.
I was able to do my work from the ladder, but I could have climbed into the space if I had had to. I consider the space accessible, and likewise for J-boxes accessed by removing recessed cans. So, yes.
