Dennis,

If a scenario is pointing towards having more than one VLAN on a particular
interface, that is a clear indication that the interface should be
configured as a trunk port. In the case you discussed, it is most likely
that you have to configure fa0/8 as a trunk interface and allow only VLANs
10 & 60 through.

For your second question, you already said that the task contain a
restriction like:

"On the trunks allow only the VLAN's involved in this scenario."

With that restriction in place, allowing VLAN 1 on any of the trunk links
when it is not used or configured accross the trunk might not be the right
or wise thing to do.

You have too many things to contend with in the lab, do complicate them by
imagining situtations not indicated in the scenario, do just what you are
asked to do and move on.

That said, dot1q tagging is the industrial standard and non-cisco
devices will understanding it.
