thanks

Yes, but not the other way around. You can't miss the first leg, because when you don't show for your leg, the ticket is going to be cancelled. So flying AAA-BBB-AAA you can miss BBB-AAA, but you can't miss AAA-BBB, because the ticket is worthless then (unless it's a flexible one)

If you've a ticket like AAA-BBB-CCC-BBB-AAA and you miss BBB-CCC because you travelled this part by bus/train/car, the part BBB-CCC-BBB-AAA will be cancelled.
