It works OK with non layer-backed views in my experience, but you do get a 
build warning if sibling views overlap in a nib.  Sibling views are drawn in 
the order they appear in the parent's list of subviews (or possibly the inverse 
order, I don't precisely recall).  The exact effect you get depends on whether 
they erase the background first and suchlike.
