Create anchor points at intersecting paths using combine shapes

When I'm using the path tool and I use the combine shapes option I've gotten 3 different results and none of them are consistent.

 

Most of the time my overlapping shapes look like this.

Though some times it ends up like this.

But every once in awhile I get overlapping paths with extra anchor points where my arrows are pointing, like this.

This is my desired result but unfortunately it doesn't happen all the time and sometimes I can't make it happen at all... what am I doing wrong?

Read this thread as I am having the same issue but I still can't get the right result. How did you end up doing it? thanks

If all subpaths are drawn in Exclude mode, then you will get what you want.

By the way. That's 12 points, not 10.

Thank you for trying but that's what I'm trying to avoid. The result I'm looking for is two full overlapping circles with a total of 10 anchor points. 4 origional anchor points for each circle and 2 more where they overlap.
