I have my doubts that this even works, but would it be possible to cast Temporal Trespass, counter it with Spelljack. Play the Exiled Temporal Trespass, and upon resolve it goes back to exile. Should I be able to play the Temporal Trespass again since it never touches the graveyard?

So far what I've found is rule 400.7a which says it should work. Because since the spell gets exiled by Spelljack, it will still "know" the spell when it returns to exile.

Spelljack only lets you cast it while it remains exiled.
When you cast a spell, it leaves the zone its in to go on the stack. If you cast a spell from your library, its no longer in your library, same with your hand or exile.
So as soon as you cast it, its no longer exiled, and Spelljack loses control over the matter.

Spelljack says that "...for as long as IT remains exiled"
IT refers to the object the countered spell became when it entered the Exile Zone.
Even if you could cast that spell whithout changing the Exile Zone, as last effect the Temporal Trespass would be exiled again. That would mean that a new object is created according to rule 400.8. Therefore Spelljack would not see it anymore.

400.8. If an object in the exile zone is exiled, it doesn�t change zones, but it becomes a new object that has just been exiled.

I assumed as much, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks for the clarification.
