Here is the question:
Let's say I make CDG a layover. There are flights from CDG thru PRG to ZAG. Since I have used CDG as a layover, can I now stopover in Prague since it is a published route between CDG and ZAG?
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.
If the routing rules for BOS-ZAG only allow BOS-CDG/AMS-ZAG, then no, you can't. The fact that you connected in CDG doesn't open any other doors for you. There can be all sorts of other routing rules for CDG-ZAG, possibly including through PRG, but it doesn't matter, since your fare (assuming you're not breaking the fare) is BOS-ZAG and those are the routing rules you must follow.
