But ... what exactly is a connecting flight?
A flight with one or more transfers, but no stopover.

Why did I have to? Or asked another way, how would I have had to fly so that I only had to pay 20PP once?
You had a stopover at DEN. To be considered a connection, you would have needed to board a flight to your destination within 4 hours of arrival at DEN. You
might have been able to squeak by with a longer transfer as long as it wasn't overnight. (The PlusPoints / luggage check-through calculation is less strict than the fare calculation).
