I'M NOT SURE
But I would think that a T&G at Airport A may not really count.. as you
have
not STARTED your X-C until you "leave" the airport.. headed for Airport B

You log the time from the moment the airplane begins to move under its own
power for the purpose of flight. So the flight definitely starts before you
leave the airport. It starts before you take off for the first time.

I see no reason why a touch-and-go at the point of departure would not
qualify. After all, a more conventional cross-country flight would include
the landing at the end of the flight that occurs at the point of departure
(which is also the final destination). Why would it matter whether the
landing happened at the beginning or the end of the cross-country?

a definition of which came first .. the chicken or the egg..

I don't think so.
