And Lasors says:
"An applicant who does not already hold a Night Qualification/Rating shall be given additionally at least 5 hours night flight instruction" so this will also have to be done outside the course.
The 10 hours dual instrument flying is part of the course.

Ok you are quoting Lasors but reading it wrong. The QXC says, "The only PIC time you will get on the course will be the successful skill test" there is nothing stoping somene hiring a plane and doing it mid-way through the course. This flight is not part of that CPL course (25 or 28 hr) so can count. If it says "The QXC must be done before the start of CPL course" then it must be done, it doesnt state that so its not required.
If the night rating is not held, then it is done as part of the CPL course, so the course changes from 25 to a 30 hour CPL course.
