Driving relays..is this acceptable?

Is this acceptable? Are there any downsides?

I am looking to drive three 12V relays. My plan is to replace the single relay in the MOSET circuit with the three relays.

  •   I've always been of the belief that placing the anti-spike diodes as close to the inductive spiking coils as possible is desired to minimize what is "felt" by the rest of the circuit.  Redundant diodes would only add to the protections.  I have nothing to back this up but the thought that three diodes will dissipate the energy faster than a single diode.
