MCB and Fused terminals in EEXe enclosure
I have an EExe certified enclosure (a junction box). Can I stick two MCB's and few fused terminals in it without sacrificing the certification. In case a fuse blows, it happens within its sealed glass tube. In case an MCB drops on account of overload, the switching will take place within the MCB housing.

No - one of the conditions of use for an Exe box is that it cannot contain any potentially sparking components (unless these are protected using another method - you can have for instance an Exd protected switch in an Exe enclosure).
A fuse may have an external temperature that is elevated even at rated current.
