Most only allow either/ or, not both. AC recently allows 2 stopovers on the award to Asia, but you have to fly partner airlines to avoid the fuel surcharge on AC flights.
AA is even more generous on international awards to / from North America.

Correct. AA also allows 2 stopovers - 1 each at North America / International Gateway, PLUS open-jaw, though you must fly the most direct route.
