The ruling on the max 5 stopovers in NthAm reads as "within Continental USA/Canada", so San Jose CR (the SJO one) does not fall under that rule.
Transfers in laymans - a transfer is defined (under IATA standard definitions) as a movement through an airport, regardless of if it's a stopover (24 hrs+ between arrival and departure) or transit (- 24 hrs between arrival and departure).
Under the *RTW rules, you may transfer an airport/city maximum of 3 times. This means you can have 3 transits
OR 2 transits and 1 stopover maximum at any one port/city.
Or in another way, you can pass through an airport 3 times maximum on one RTW trip, but of those three times you can only stopover for more than 24 hours on only one of those transfers.
Cheers.
thanks very much.
just to recap. that means on this itinerary I have 2 transfers through IAD and could actually transfer once more if I wanted to so I can avoid ORD (yay). true?
