Back to back ticketing (again??)

I have booked the following with web specials fare (which suppose to be out Fri or Sat and return Mon or Tue.)

On Canadian Airlines:
Using Ticket #1 Outbound:
Fri, Oct 22 YYZ - YVR 19:15

Using Ticket #2 Outbound:
Sat, Oct 23 YVR - YYZ 15:00

Using Ticket #2 Inbound:
Mon, Oct 25 YYZ - YVR 08:45

Using Ticket #1 Inbound:
Mon, Oct 25 YVR - YYZ 15:00

Th total fare of this comes to about 550 Cdn, but for 9000 status miles, I believe it's quite worth it. However, when I first inquire about doing this, the agent said no one is going to willing to do this unless you call back 2 seperate times and do 2 seperate tickets.

I further ask her whether this violate any rules, she remained silent. Asked her whether this will cause any problems at the airport, she said no as long as I use up all tickets. Finally, ask her to explain to me what back to back ticketing is, she said never mention that over the phone to an airline agent, if I want to find out, then I'll have to call a travel agent to find out which I find strange.

Anyways, just want to know whether the above is considered back to back, I am planning to use all portions of the ticket. If I violate any rules, what are they. And how would they usually catch you?

I just want to make sure everything is perfectly fine before I do the ticketing. Don't want them to end up making pay the difference for a full fare.

Regards,
Empress
