Protection

I want to make sure I understand the rules regarding protection.
Here's my take on protection:
1. Only "Commanded Shot" units require another adjacent unit (Non-light mounted, not located in the 3 tiles to the rear).
2. Artillery are only protected when behind an obstacle / fortification). In other words you cannot protect artillery by placing another unit adjacent to an artillery unit.
3. Finally, units with both pike and firearms (i.e. "shots) are both protected shot and protected pike. In other words the protection is derived from the unit composition, not other adjacent units?
