The way I understand this is that I should be able to wire all the limit switches in parallel to one input on the computer. I would use indicator lights to let me know which limit has tripped the machine. Then I will use three inputs for the X/Y (dual X, one Y) home location. Since these are digital inputs and not anylog I should be able to use relays that the prox sensors will close and the common/NO pins on the relays for the input to the computer. Am I correct in my thinking?

The limits are in SERIES.
Here is an example with separate home switches.

As has been said if you want to use 1 pin for limits then wire in series. You also mention having relays and lights, that should work OK but is it really needed? you would be able to see which axis was on a limit just by looking at the router as easily as looking at lights.
