I think that is the clearest way to ask it. Apologies for my lack of clarity before. You can see how being allowed to do this kind of layover trick would greatly expand the possibilities for stopover cities on a trip.

I don't think you understand STOPOVER, LAYOVER and CONNECTION.

You are allowed one and only one stopover on an itinerary. You are allowed unlimited connections (<24 hours on international itineraries). So if you "use" your stopover in CDG, why do you think you can use another one in PRG (even if a stopover in PRG would be allowed with that routing)?
