The incenters are always inside the triangle. So it's impossible for the incenters to be on the edge of the triangle. Keep in mind that the incircles are always contained in a triangle http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Incircle.html

The circumcenter will only be on the triangle if and only if the triangle is a right triangle http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gc3/AnswerPic3.gif if the triangle is obtuse, then the circumcenter is outside the triangle http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/emat6680/dunbar/assignment4/circumcenter_obtuse.gif

OpenStudy (mww):

it has to be the circumcentre of a right triangle. because: A right triangle inscribed within a circle actually forms a diameter with its hypotenuse (better known as a diameter subtends a right angle at the circumference) thus the centre of the circle lies on the hypotenuse of such a triangle |dw:1465880020041:dw|
