Daisy Chain Lighting together

[CH287]

Can anyone tell me what the NEC code that allows fixtures to be daisy chained together?
Is it permitted to feed an exit sign from an EM Strip fixture when they are both on the same circuit?
I am failing an inspection where we have wired strip fixtures with 12/3 MC cable (1 CKT - Hot/Switchleg/Neutral).
The way it is currently wired is 12/3 in one end of the fixture and out the other to the next strip down the hallway.
We are also coming of certain strip fixtures with a 12/2 Whip to feed exit signs.

I am looking for NEC codes that can back me up to deal with the inspector.

I am failing for 410.64. But as far as I'm concerned section 410.64C allows us to wire this way.
Am I incorrect?

I don't believe 410.64(c) helps you, because MC doesn't make it connect end-to-end to form a continuous assembly.

Connected together by recognized wiring methods?

Daisy Chaining Strip Fixtures

I'm currently building a Storage Unit in FL. We have hundreds of 4' Strip fixtures mounted directly to the ceiling. The fixtures are allowed to be end to end. We installed MC cable in one end of the fixture and out the other to the next light. They are separated by about 5'. Since there are EM...
