I'm looking for advice on how to configure the wiring of two wall lights either side of a bed controlled by two two gang switches either side of a bed.
Each switch would contain a one gang switch and a two way switch.
The one way switch would control the corresponding light on it's side and the two way switch would control both lights.
I can't seem to configure it without getting a back feed from the one way switches to both lights.
 
I don’t think I’m understanding what you’re looking for here.

2 way switch on each side of bed controlling the FEED into each 1 way?

Or would 2 x 2 ways working separate lights work? So each light can be controlled by either side of bed?
 
The one way switch would control the corresponding light on it's side and the two way switch would control both lights.

Can explain how you want this to work? At the moment it doesn't make much sense.
Is the two way supposed to override the one way switch?

As per @littlespark suggestion why not just have each light on 2 way switch?
