No need to combine the routes, I think. And something like this (a different "view" of the same data) is where the database approach of BC shines.
1. Creat a new empty list.
2. Select the list your 10 routes are in, and by click, shift-click or CTRL-click, select all 10 routes.
3. Right click, "send to..." and send the routes to the list created in step 1.
4. Select new list and swap data/map views so the data is in the large right pane.
5. Filter to show only the waypoints.
Now all the waypoints, and only those waypoints, that are in the 10 routes will show, once per waypoint regardless of how many times they are used in the routes, and can be sorted by name, or coordinates to check for locational duplicates, or whatever. The list could be exported to a spreadsheet to calc bonus points or whatever. Opening the properties of any waypoint and selecting the "references" tab, you could see in which routes the waypoint is used.
Remember not to modify any of the routes here, doing so will change them in the original list as well since they are all just pointers to the original routes. If you want to be able to modify the routes you are studying, then in the steps above, insert:
2a. Right click, select "Duplicate", and when asked about duplicating waypoints, answer "No". This will create 10 new routes with the same waypoints, with names identical to the originals except followed by a "1". In step 3 above, for some reason you will have to re-select the duplicated routes to be able to get the "send to..." command in the context menu.
Not sure if this will do exactly what you want, but it might get you close.
Having spent little time with routes (mostly waypoints) I never realized that by default all instances of each waypoint (that make up a route) accompany the route when you replicate it to a different list. That makes it easy!
I was messing around with "junk routes" I had created from "junk waypoints" in the 'Unlisted Data" folder. Working with them there I saw them. I just didn't think they would "accompany the route" throughout the folder tree...
Notes:
Even though the method presented by C14_RIDER works: You can only visualize the intersections as there is only one instance of each waypoint in the filtered NEW list. ~ I assumed the OP was trying to produce an actual list and not just a visual representation!
Combining the routes into one big "junk route" I did not combine the routes into ONE route, they stayed as separate routes, not sure if that makes a difference or notdoes produce a list of all the points, including duplicates listed multiple times When I opened the entire list of routes, and swapped data/route views, their waypoints were in sequences which made it easy to 'select' the waypoints I wanted to sort/score. From there I 'exported' them because BC would not allow me to copy and paste in an Excel spreadsheet, BUT 'export' worked like I said with a little mutilation required.(when you open the route to look at the "junk route's" properties.) ~ But since you can't sort on the headers (looking at properties) this combined list with duplicates doesn't completely work Like I said a little data messing with, which was easy, gave me what I wanted.. That's why I was thinking about exporting them.Like I said coping did NOT work I had to 'export' the data to an Excel spreadsheet. I don't know why but right now I'm going with the flow and if it works I'm happy.
I highlighted the waypoints names I was interested in and 'exported' them as a txt file into Excel, and then filtered the data by tab. Not all data was in the same column BUT it was sequentially by name, so with a little cutting and pasting I have a listing of all my bonuses from all the routes.
Actually if you export the list instead of the highlighted points, in .csv format, there is a section titled "wpt" that lists all the waypoints in that list all lined up nicely in the correct columns with column headings. You need only delete the other rows above and below and auto-width the columns and voila.

Combining the routes into one big "junk route" does produce a list of all the points, including duplicates listed multiple times (when you open the route to look at the "junk route's" properties.) ~ But since you can't sort on the headers (looking at properties) this combined list with duplicates doesn't completely solve the problem for finding duplicates. That's why I was thinking about exporting this combined "junk route" and reading it in Excel. (And that does work when exported as csv.)
PS: A neat little tool called "RouteConverter" at RouteConverter.com will give you a sortable neat little list (with duplicates shown) that you can view after exporting the combined "junk route" to a .gpx file from Basecamp. I suggest getting the "pre-release" version of RouteConverter as it includes a few worthwhile bug fixes. Also, once you figure things out: To sort you have to (in the convert tab of Route Converter after opening the file) first select either the route or the track rendition in the first dropdown under the 'type' drop down menu there is a 'waypoint option? Can I use this?list to see the multiple instances of each waypoint. Then (YOU MUST) first click on an actual kmz data field below I have no idea what a kmz field is? sorry, right click and then (and only then) right click on the header of the fields by header fields do ou mean the column labeled 'description' etc?to find/use/select & apply the sort by description. (Just clicking on the header of the data fields doesn't enable the sort for some reason. And until you do this, it's initially visible but not selectable.)
http://www.routeconverter.com/prereleases/en Voila, there is your list of organized duplicates.
PS: RouteConverter runs as a standalone app, no install needed and there's even a "run off the web" version you don't have to save to run. (If you download,select the 32 bit version even if you're running 64bit windows, as the 64bit version of RouteConverter refers to having a 64bit java installed, which you most likely do not have. ~ even on 64bit windows. The web version may not have the bug fix (I found) that can cause trouble with weird characters used in your waypoiont names.)
~Kind of a neat tool!
