Help with circle trip

I suddnely have a need to go various places that fits neatly into a clircle-kinda trip, and wonderes what kind of fares I should look for; my schedule takes me from OSL, through LHR, NBO, possible JNB/CPT, then I need to get to SIN and if possible HKG, before going back home. What kind of fare could make this more pelasant than a lot of single tickets?

One World Circle Trip Explorer is best much for you.
Fare Code: AONEWC3/DONEWC3/MONEWC3(First/Business/Economy)
Prices are same as 3 continets One World Explorer.

For example,
OSL/xLHR/NBO/xJNB/CPT/xJNB/xHKG/SIN/HKG/xLHR/OSL

is valid itinerary of this fare.
Two stopovers are permitted in each continent.
So, if you stopover at NBO and CPT, you can not stopover JNB.

Thanks a lot, can you point me to a place where I can see the exact rules, or they the same as for DONE3 too? (This is going to be in D class)

UPDATE: I just took a quick call to BA, and they said there was no notable difference in rules from the regular DONE3 RTW-ticket, but if someone else knows better or knows of a notable difference, I'd like to hear.

If this is true, then I'm considering pulling this one, with some added thrills for the fun of it: OSL-LHR-DXB-xLHR-JNB-xNBO-JNB-HKG-xCGK-HKG-xSIN-HKG-LHR-OSL

Which should to my knowledge break no rules on the DONE3?

See follwing BA's site (It is Japanese site, but written in English)

http://www.british-airways.co.jp/fli..._circle_e.html

There are a few difference between OWE and OW circletrip explorer.
You can do only two stopovers in each continet.
So, OSL-LHR-DXB-xLHR-JNB-.....-HKG-LHR-OSL
violates this rule, because of there are 3 stopovers (LHR, DXB, LHR) in Europe(including Middle East).
