Well, yes.  The 'j' loop steps through the tag names one at a time ;
each call of
    var lines =
xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName(checkpoint);
destroys any previous content of 'lines' and reads in one tag only, by
name. Naturally, 'lines' only ever contains one element (assuming your
<lineTFTnn> tags are unique)

Have you considered using a more generalised XML format, such as
<datapoints>
        <line id='TFT001'> latitude=" "  longitude=" " </line>
        <line id='TFT012'>   etc

Too bad ; how were you planning on publishing the finished map?
