Are return tickets considered separate journeys on the Eurail pass?

I am from India so I can only get Eurail and not InterRail. I am looking to travel three countries (Italy, France & Spain), so I will get a global pass. But while in one country, I will use one city as base and make day trips as required. Since it will involve onward and return journeys,, are those two considered two separate trips for the purpose of Eurail pass usage?

Or can I make any number of journeys between any number stations in one day? Confused because some other threads said as much, but the passes are for ‘x’ number of journeys in ‘y’ number of days. For instance 7 journeys in 15 days. So will Rome to Florence and back on the same day be one journey or two?

There’s no real concept of single or return journeys with a pass. The pass isn’t ‘x journeys in y days’. It’s 'x days in y’.

For example ‘7 days in one month’ means you can pick any 7 travel days within a that period.

On a travel day, you can take as many trains as you like. Each train has to be added to your Trip.
