Can charge and charge flow in the distributed capacitance and
inductance be used to analyze transmission lines?

yes. that is the classical derivation shown in any decent text book.

You are just trying to fog the issue. You cannot use charge by
itself as you claim above.

No. I am just trying to make clear the consequences of choosing
"no" as the answer to the question I directly posed above.

moving charge is current. current traveling waves are well defined and
analyzed by existing methods. as stated before and well documented in
existing texts you need only analyze the current OR the voltage traveling
waves in a transmission line to get the full picture since one is always
linearly related to the other by Z0. waves traveling in opposite directions
do not interact, they don't 'bounce' off of each other, they just pass right
through each other as long as the conditions required for superposition
apply, which is almost all the time in amateur installations.
