Presuming that the conditions of ticket 1 include a minimum stay provision, then yes, this is the very definition of back-to-back ticketing.
What if on ticket 2 Saturday you book say EWR-TPA and return Monday then take your EWR-BOS return is this really still back to back ticketing.
That is end-on-end ticketing and is completely valid.
