Would BA issue a ticket that went something like this...

(BA) LHR-JFK early on day 1
(AA) EWR-DFW very late on day 1
(AA) DFW-AUS first thing on day 2

for the sake of clarity, the flight would land in DFW after the last flight to AUS had left.

TIA
Since BA permits en-route stopovers on award redemptions (even on partner carriers), I don't think you have to worry about the amount of time you spend in either NYC or DFW, provided that BA approves routing through those cities.
