Pangeaman. There's a general rule in solo fingerstyle playing, especially in classical, that you don't use the same finger twice, apart from the the thumb. When two consecutive notes are on the same string, you usually alternate between i, & m or m, & i.
What you saw on the internet is a general rule about fingerstyle accompaniment, rather than solo fingerstyle. In fingerstyle accompaniment you are mostly playing chords and always changing string, so that rule you saw about using a different finger for each of the upper strings works well.
The example you gave is solo fingerstyle, i.e., you're playing the melody as well as the accompaniment, so you alternate fingers i & m to play those notes where necessary.
The reason I'm jumping in to answer this ahead of Kirk is that I'm preparing a lesson on fingerstyle accompaniment that I'll be posting soon. It's good to have an understanding of fingerstyle accompaniment before trying more difficult solo fingerstyle pieces.
