Should an outlet located at 7 feet up the wall from the floor used to power a light fixture be included in wall space requirements?

I have never heard of wall space requirement in the electrical terminology. There is a code rule for the positioning of receptacle outlets around a room. This type of outlet has to be counted as a device when estimating the number of outlets that can be installed on one circuit. If you are talking about horizontal placement of electrical boxes at 300 mm floor level, then this outlet will not be included in that measurement.
