So a quick example and question to the group. One of the prohibited activities is "Point-Beyond Ticketing." What exactly does this term mean? Stated differently, does it mean two back-to-back itineraries aboard the same carrier? If so let me give a quick example followed by a question.
Assume the lowest published round trip fare from/to EWR/HNL is $X.00 [I am assuming CO flies to HNL which it may not]. Assume there are no direct flights from/to EWR/HNL or the reverse; they all connect somewhere between [let's assume LAX for simplicity purposes]. Assume the combined lowest published round trip fares from/to EWR/LAX and LAX/HNL are less than $X.00 and that's what you book to save a little money.

I don't think the scenario you describe would be considered "point beyond". I think that is like this:
LAX - Sacramento (by way of SFO) = $100, but LAX-SFO is $150. You book all the way to Sac, but get off in SF. I actually did that several years ago on United, the numbers were different, but it did work like that.
