Forgive me for posting it here. Diagram A is what I know. I would like to know if diagram B is going to work. It's because the location of the 110v outlet is in the middle.

Thanks!

Well, either configuration works. Especially if you have heavy duty wire. With option A, you are "injecting" power at the beginning of the chain, and for long lengths of wire, you may see appreciable voltage drop at the end of the line meaning that the farthest fixture might light up dim compared to the nearest fixture. If you are running lights over an especially long length of wire, option B is better due to less voltage drop at the farthest fixture(s).
 
If the wiring is in parallel, then you wont see any difference between the first device or the last. Yes either wiring is correct.
