I've done what you seem to be discribing and it works. You probably have a small bug in your code. Without seeing the code it's hard to say what it is, but you could look for a depth duplication problem. Have you made certain the lower one is loading at all or has been made visible...etc... Your idea will work, you just need to do some debugging
