yes it is OK.
A round trip is AAA-BBB-AAA (with connection airports) You can be in BBB as long as the fare rules allow -- BBB is the destination airport.
A stopover is an additional point where you stay longer than a certain period of time (internationally this is usually 24 hours).
So AAA-BBB(destination)-CCC(>24 hour stopover)-AAA is a valid routing.
Note in this case BBB or CCC can be considered the destination and the other is the stopover.
But as mentioned earlier do not do a RTW. You need to return in similar direction that you came from.

it has been taking minutes and mileage transfers can presently be done.
