yes you could have 12 amps on each ungrounded conductor and 24 on the neutral for a total of 24 flowing through the same single pole breaker and it would trip it eventually.

It is possible to feed 2 equal loads from this single pole breaker with 2 ungrounded conductors #12 with a shared neutral having 24 amps on the neutral. This would mean that 24 amps would have to pass through the breaker and split to 12 between the 2 ungrounded conductors. This would eventually trip the breaker.

Yes your right. I was thinking that if the two circuits were tied together
before the first device and at the sp breaker. I just recently ran across
this situation two weeks ago and remember thinking,"What's the point
of this?" Sorry for not being clear.

You are forgiven my son.
