you can do what you have stated however with the recent enforcement/interpretation of the "two transfers" per city maximum rule you may not be able to transit HKG so many times.
But it really depends on where you ticket, which airline you use, and how good your travel agent is at getting them to overlook this rule.
I can't see this "2 transfer" rule anywhere. I know with my personal OW RTW, I am transiting HKG 3 times (no stop-overs), but I agree that the originally posted itenerary should be acceptable as per the printed rules WRT backtracking. As well, I was earlier told that some of the OW airlines are more "gullable" in booking RTW tickets that "bend" the rules (The one that should have a 'U' in it's name but does not).
