Is this an illegal nested tickets?

I have read several threads on back-to-back and nested tickets. I am still confused. It appears that intent is an essential part of determining if it is legal or not. As in, is the intent to get around some fare rule to get a cheaper ticket; or was it an unintentional change of plans.

My daughter will be away for one year August to August. I know she will be back in December for a visit. So, I will book a ticket for her a round trip ticket as follows:

August 15, 2011 AAA - BBB
December 15, 2011 BBB-AAA

Now, if she decides to visit home for a weekend in between these two dates, then she will book a round trip ticket BBB-AAA. This is a nested (?) ticket between the same two cities. Is this legal?

Thanks.
