YVR AA X/DFW AA X/LAX QF SYD CX HKG CX YVR ?
OR
YVR CX HKG CX SYD QF LAX AA X/DFW AA X/YVR ?
My main problem is figuring how to get from Australia -> Vancouver vv. without violating the fare fules. (AA does not fly YVR-LAX, and QF between YVR and SYD does not have First Class)

I am also trying to work this out. I only need to visit SIN and NRT.
I can fly out of SEA and YVR.
What about YVR - DFW - LAX - SYD - SIN - HKG - NRT - DFW - YVR
or change YVR for SEA.
Thoughts or help on this routing?
Thanks

There is a Circle Pacific by AC/SQ/NZ fare too. But only in coach though.

A legal CircPacific 22000 mile fare is:
SYD QF AKL QF LAX QF DFW AA YVR CX HKG QF SYD. Stopovers in DFW, YVR and HKG. This will be a problem in F (no QF F AKL-LAX-DFW). Otherwise, fly SYD-LAX to get F.

At 25,995 miles according to the Great Circle Mapper, this is bumping up against the 26,000 mile fare limit. Depending on how the ticketing airline figures mileage, they may want you to buy a 29,000 mile ticket. If it goes over 26,000, changing the origin to SEA should solve the problem.
