Thank you for reinforcing my understanding. I knew the backtracking rule was wrong but the harder I looked at the itinerary the more I became concerned that the three arrivals in DOH conflicts with rule 4(e)(3):
Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent except as
follows:
Two permitted in Europe/Middle East
I feared that I was actually arriving into Europe/Middle East three times (MPM-DOH; CMN-DOH; CPH-DOH). But then I thought harder and realised (I think) that my itinerary only has one intercontinental arrival (MPM-DOH) and one intercontinental departure (DOH-GRU), as DOH, CMN and CPH are all in the one continent.

So I'm waiting to speak to a supervisor. The agent who told me no go has had me on hold now for almost 20 minutes.

(Incidentally, as noted above, AA priced it without issue.)
