A1 is dribbling up the court just before the half-court line he attempts to dribble behind his back. The ball stays behind him in the back court while he continues into the front court. A1 stops, turns around and with both
feet in the front court, (the ball has bounced once in the backcourt). A1 then gains control with both feet in the frontcourt but dribbles the ball in the backcourt.
A1's dribble was clearly interrupted, is this a backcourt violation or does the 3 point (two feet & ball) rule still apply ?

No, this is not a BC violation. You have one of two things here, depending on what actually occurred.
1- If you consider A1 to be in player control during the entire play, then all 3 points were never in the FC.
2- If you consider the dribble behind the back as an interrupted dribble, then the count would continue but the ball was never in the FC, therefore no violation.
Either way, the ball never attained FC status.
