Two things came to mind when I read your post:
1. Since he is pottying or appearing to potty every time you put him out and he is peeing inside if you don't put him out, I'm thinking a urinary tract infection or some other medical reason; and,
2. If you are giving him treats after he pottys outside, he could be pulling the little manipulator trick.
But from what you are saying, I am thinking no. 1 might be the one. I would take him to your vet and let you vet know what the issue is. Has he been neutered? At around 6 months, if he hasn't started already, he will start marking his territory. If he is not neutered, you may want to consider having him neutered also. If he is "marking" having him neutered will help stop that habit.
Good luck and you will have to let us know what you find out.
