I once did a back-to-back because my employer sent me on a two week trip (paying for the ticket), and I bought my self a round trip ticket in the opposite direction so that I could go home for a three day weekend in the middle. Again, no minimum stay circumvention.
Was I just lucky, or are these situations OK?
All end-on-end ticketing is just fine.
For your last example, as long as there were no minimum stay requirements on the first ticket, you're ok.
Usually, in a true back-to-back example, one buys:
AAA-BBB-AAA and BBB-AAA-BBB
Assuming non-stop flights, the coupon use order is:
Ticket 1, Coupon 1
Ticket 2, Coupon 1 [this use may violate the minimum stay requirements of Ticket #1]
Ticket 2, Coupon 2
Ticket 1, Coupon 2
