When determining "continuing" city pairs does it indicate that there is pax demand (if not strong enough for nonstop service) between those two points. For example, the AUS-DFW-COS flight listed by the OP. Could one assume that there is sufficient traffic between AUS and COS to list this as a one-stop service? Or is it completely random?

I'm going to go with completely random.
