In theory it works, but the erratic practices of NZ at checkin can cause headaches...
i think it depends on who you get, i have had AKL int'l check-in agent happily tag my bags from NZ->BR (Eva Air) without a fuss. (two separate tickets, BR does not belong to any alliance).

also there are unhelpful ones, wouldnt even bother (refused) to make a call to koru lounge for me to make an massage appointment.
