So, you just put the code to build that in between the code to build your content and the code to build your footer. I have had far fewer problems with depth since I started using getNextHighestDepth() consistently. You just build the code in the depth order that you want. If you start with this:

buildHeader();
buildContent();
buildFooter();

and you want to add something between the content and the footer, then just add it in between:

buildHeader();
buildContent();
buildMoreContent();
buildFooter();

Guess where the new stuff ends up? No figuring out what depth to assign, no re-assigning depths, no collisions. Nice and simple.

No, but what Ryan describes is exactly what getNextHighestDepth() is for.

Not at all. If you have a content container at 1, a navigation container at 2 (so that drop downs lay on top of the content), and a footer container at 3, and you need to add another content container (for rotating ads or something), you want it to be next to the other content in depth so that it's under the navigation.
