Huge thanks
jerry a. laska Gardyloo pandaperth - I'm really grateful for the help! The consensus seems to be a DONEx fails due to segments in one continent but DGLOB34 should work, depending on how QR married segments are treated? It seems separate segments are throwing up an error by looking like a stopover in DOH that BA aren't willing to override manually.

QR uses a lot of married segments but they also have been using unmarried segments when you can only book the through route as if you are stopping in DOH and starting again. There are a few threads in the QR forum about this and it has come up in the AA forum in regard to award tickets. Not saying it is this but you often find unequal availability for these segments depending upon how you search. It may just be a general unfamiliarity with these tickets by whoever you are talking to at BA.

The first pass through LHR (OSL-HEL-LHR-BHD) is a transit
The surface segment BHD-LHR counts as a single stopover
Then at the end, there is another stopover in LHR
So two stopovers in the continent of origin
This is interesting. I will head over to the QR forum to learn more.
This is how I intended the routing to be read, but will ponder if BA say no again whether Jerry's interpretation is the issue.

Apologies for the confusion here - it's been a fluid day and I just want to get this booked.
