Actually, I had a call very much like this. Team A has the ball in their front court. B1 knocks the ball away from A1 towards the division line. A1 dives after the ball. The ball takes a bounce in the front court, A1 (who is lying on the floor entirely in the front court) gets her hand on the ball and bounces it once---in her back court.

A1 first touches the ball---OK.
Ball bounces---OK.
A1 touches the ball again---Tweet!
No problem with this one. What about the one cited earlier where A1 touches it, it bounces in bc, then bounces in fc, then A1 touches it again, or A2 touches it. Someone said that would still be a bc violation. Eh?
Absolutely! A in control. Ball in front court. A1 was the last to touch before it went to the backcourt. A2 was was the first to touch after it went to the backcourt. The ball says nothing about where the touches are made or what happens between the touches.
