The second way is much more pernicious, and you can't get away with it using a smart card--only paper tickets. This is the 2-ticket approach

You buy TWO tickets, each for a single-stop trip, before going through the fare gates, and use different ones to enter and exit.

There are a number of mechanisms in place, formal and informal, that prevent this sort of cheating

The first is that ticket machines or clerks will only sell you tickets for their own network; eg you can't buy Keio tickets at Odakyu stops

Consequently, your range is already limited to within a single company's network. But that's just the informal barrier...

The formal barrier is that tickets are marked in some way (usually a hole punch) as you *enter* the system, and that mark is checked at exit

So, when you try to sneak out of the system at your exit using the second ticket, you're very likely to get caught at the fare gates

...because the tickets are mechanically marked, and it's unlikely you'll manage to mark it the same way so the fare gate reads it properly

So REMEMBER! Don't try to cheat the trains! If you get away with it, you hurt them, and if you don't, you hurt yourself!
