Say I have two websites, A and B.
A has a link to B.
There is NO LINK on B back to A.
This would be a one-way or non-reciprocal link from A to B. Right?
However, when in B if you hit the Back Button or close the file, you are then taken back to A.
Do the engines classify this as a reciprocal link?

Think about it, when a search engine indexes site B, how does it know what the visitors last page visited (what tehy will get when they hit BACK) will be, so no there I doubt it would be.
Then for the one where you close the window and get back to A, if I am understanding what you are asking, you are not "going back" to A, it was there the whole time, the new window with site B was just visible on top of it. Again, only one way.

Since B has no link back to A it is not a reciprocal link. If someone hits the back button that does not make it reciprocal because search engines can't read your browser.
