I don't think you have to worry about anything burning up with what you're describing. But I'm very curious about what you have in mind!

Putting switches in parallel means that any single switch can turn the light on, but all switches have to be off before the light will turn off. If that's what you want, great, though I'd still have to ask why that's what you want. Never mind the implementation; can you give any more detail about the application?
