What exactly does \"adjacent\" mean?

Some standards state that adjacent walls should be firewalls without doors, windows, or openings. Can such adjacency be achieved by using a single firewall to separate two workshops? Must it still be separate walls, one wall each?
The adjacent wall should be a fire wall without doors, windows, or openings; such adjacency means that the two workshops can be separated by a single fire wall. However, it should be noted that there are requirements regarding firewalls; for details, refer to the relevant provisions in the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings.
Reply to 2# jingsan: However, according to the Code for Design of Town Gas Supply GB50028-2006, adjacent buildings to gas-using buildings are defined as those that are closely connected to such buildings but do not form part of the same building structure. I used to think it could refer to a firewall as well; perhaps the definition in GB50028 applies only to that standard and not to other specifications?
