Er, why not?

I understand that there is a default permissions setup that prevents 
that, but what possible reason should there be for prohibiting the 
user from setting up permissions the way they *want* them to work?

Is this truly a UNIX issue, or an OS X one? I know UNIX only as a 
user, not as an administrator, but it seems to me that you ought to 
be able to put your folders wherever you want, as long as the OS 
provides traverse checking (i.e., it allows folders with user-level 
access inside folders that prohibit it).

And this is not so much a UNIX issue as it is a file system issue, 
no?
