You are certainly eligible for the Business Class lounge and depending upon your cabin Class maybe El Mourjan and Al Safwa lounges.

You do not need to go landside in DOH you will not need visas. You are in transit.

Thanks remdk for the quick reply! The reason I thought i'd need to go landside is that this is usually always necessary in Europe (or at least I thought it was!), where separate PNRs are concerned. Just to confirm I am doing:

ARN-DOH-HKG
HKG-DOH-ARN
(one ticket, J class)

DOH-DXB
DXB-DOH
(separate tickets altogether, indeed booked as two one ways, Y class)

Are you saying they will effectively issue both boarding passes at HKG and then at DXB even though each leg is on a different ticket?

Thanks a lot!
