I did a Multi-Sector search with JER-PDX in the To/From fields of the first box and PDX-LCY, in this example, in the 2nd box. Then select Advanced Controls (I think that is what it is called) and in the boxes that appear, on the left hand ones I placed LON JFK LAX (1st box) and LAX JFK (2nd box).
This avoids creating the itinerary via separate flights between each airport and advises ITA Matrix that you want to go from JER to PDX via LON JFK and LAX. If you put comma’s between those Cities it would ask the system to route you from JER to PDX with a stop in either LON, JFK or LAX.
There are much better teachers out there then myself on ITA Matrix, but hopefully that helps you in your search.
