I think you are confusing and mixing up Star alliance and One world rules. Star alliance does allow repeated visits to the same city within the mileage level chosen as long as you do not spend more than 24 hours in that city. One world rules calculate SEGMENTS and allows six segments in US and if you do three trips DFW-ANC you gobble up all those segments. Fellow FTs and experts in RTW please clarify

I think
gobbling up all your segments is what you want to do. Since DFW - ANC is currently the longest North American flight operating with 1 flight number in both directions, it follows that to max your miles you would fly that route for all 6 of your segments. You can stop in ANC or DFW for as long as you like.
Anyway have fun with the planning and let us know what you end up booking.
