I wouldn't exactly say that they fight each other, but either one alone or both together could trip on any fault, and if they both trip you will have to reset the upstream one first.If you want them to fight each other, sure. This is no different then feeding a gfci receptacle with a gfci receptacle. 4-6mA is not a wide window.
There is no interaction between one GFCI and another, unless one is faulty in some ground-faulting manner. Set that idea aside and let's imagine some scenarios where all the branch circuit wiring and GFCIs are good.Is it ok to feed a gfci outlet with a gfci breaker ?
The reason I am wiring it this way is: I'm adding an outlet outside to a pool deck using existing conduit that already has gfci protected branch circuits so I need to gfci protect the circuit I am adding in that conduit it comply with 680.23 f3 code article. Now I can't find any WR/TP rated outdoor outlets other than gfci outlets that's why I'm using both at the breaker and at the outlet. Anyone see a way around this ?

I think if you will use RCD breaker it is enough.
