As IAHflyer noted you do not get the mileage with the EWR stop included but direct IAH-FRA, but as others have said you do not lose much.
I fly IAH-FCO (via EWR) on CO40 often and after I book it I call and have the elite line break up the itin for me. They tell me each time that it isn't normal procedure to do that, but they will for me "this time"???
So it is worth a shot for you to try that after you buy.
