1. There is nothing in the rules that prevents two visits to CGK. You cannot fly the same city pairs twice in the same direction but
typical isn't doing this.
2. I think the problem that typical is having with the tool is that the tool treats every city you enter as a stopover. The tool does not recognize that I may want to choose a city to route to using the tool and merely connect there for less than 24 hours. As far as the rules go
typical 's routing
TYO-CGK-DOH....LAX-HKG-CGK-TYO would be legal with TYO-oCGK-DOH....LAX-xHKG-oCGK-TYO but the tool will only provide you a routing like LAX-HKG-CGK if you have entered LAX-CGK and it has decided that is legal and then it provides you the LAX-xHKG-CGK routing as an option when you go to select flights.
A travel agent, JAL, or AA (if typical has some AA overwater flights in there) could ticket but selecting transit cities in the continent of origin in difficult in the tool.
