For the screenprinters: how would you go about prepping the art/printing this tshirt?

Threadless T-Shirts - Et Cetera by Danger Russ

I understand colour separation, but I'm not sure about designs where you have multiple colours that are in contact with eachother, especially intricate designs.

would both pattern colours need to be extracted or would the majority colour always be used as a base with the other colour printed ontop to create the pattern effect?

hope that's understandable. if not, i'll elaborate.

secondly, say i wanted to do a 2 colour print of a globe, green for the land and blue for the sea.. ok, say the blue layer is going to be on the bottom with the green layer overlayed.. which would most commonly occur

a) complete blue circle printed + green overlayed
b) blue circle printed with gaps (straight through to shirt) wherever the green ink will be printed

thanks for your time. (:
