This was my initial routing, which backtracks, so is invalid:

SEA-IAH-FRA-LHR STOP LHR-FRA-SEA

The only idea I can come up with after spending wayyy too much time putting together dates and flights that work is to drop the FRA-LHR-FRA segments and buy a return ticket so I'm simply flying SEA-IAH-FRA STOP FRA-SEA.

If anyone has any better suggestions, I would greatly appreciate some input.

TIA.
This sounds ok to me from either UA or US programs. Who is calling this backtracking?
