Please help with my routing!

hey guys,
I'm trying to book another *RTW from JNB.. I was wondering if it's possible to go to and from Africa via Europe.... ie.
Africa-xEurope-NA-Asia-Europe-Africa
My travel agent in JNB says it's not valid, as I cannot go through Europe twice.. but in the past, I have booked with her an itinerary which passed through Asia twice, both to and from Africa... Can anyone help me out here? Does the rules specifically say you can't do something like this, or it really depends on the TA and ticketing carrier?
Thanks!
Terence

Hi Terence,

I got a routing with stops both ways in Europe ticketed by LH in CPT. However, that was almost a year ago.

I did that ex-JNB sometime in Aug with the exact same itineary you have on Lufthansa ticket stock. I'm not sure if there have been any rules lately that disallowed such routing. If you like, I can forward you my TA's email a/c in JNB.
