It would probably price as two OW's, Y or maybe two OW's which were discounted.

So by your definition, if I fly from LAX to LGA and stop in ORD on the way out but DEN on the way back, it's not a round trip?
Do you actually mean stop
OR connect in ORD and/or DEN?
Regardless of whether you mean stop OR connect, both trips would be considered as circle trips because the return is not a "mirror image" of the outbound.
The following definition deserves
very close examination:
From the tarriff, I give you Rule 5:
"Circle Trip means any trip, the ultimate destination of which is the point of origin, but which includes a stop at at least ONE other point, and which is not made via the same routing in both directions."
Note that there does not have to be an EXTRA stop in addition to the turn around point:
IAD-LHR(connection)-FRA(stop)-IAD
or for example:
LAX-ORD(connection)-LGA(stop)-DEN(connection)-LAX
The most common example will still be:
A--->B(stop)--->C(stop)--->A
