It can count as one flight (if on a single flight number) but it still counts as EUR-ASIA-SWP. From the rules:
(k) Travel between South West Pacific and Europe/Middle East on a single flight number/or by surface is considered travelling SWP-Asia-Europe through three continents.
As stated earlier any itinerary including SWP must be four continents.
