Can I then credit both: original and rebooked flight to one program (BAEC) in the example you gave?
This double dipping relates to original routing credits, (there is a guide linked to in the BAEC board dashboard). Basically if you are rebooked on to another flight due to IRROPS you can do an ORC claim to get the originally booked flights credited to BAEC.
If you are rebooked on to a non-oneworld airline like Swiss you can double dip quite easily since you can credit your Swiss flight to whatever *A program you use by either adding it at the Swiss counter or retro claiming, and do your ORC for the original flights to BAEC.
If you are rebooked on to oneworld flight unless you remove your BAEC number your rebooked flight will credit as normal to BAEC. On doing your ORC that rebooked flight entry would be removed and the original flight TP and avios manually added. If you apply to credit that rebooked flight to another oneworld airline program it may be rejected on the basis it was already credited to BAEC. As noted you definitely won't get original and rebooked flights credited to BAEC.
