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.

What if it's not supposed to be built at the same time as the other elements? There are thousands of what ifs that might make your example not work. All of this becomes moot with the AS3 DisplayList, but as long as you have to work with the current depth system, it is a good idea to keep track of where you are putting stuff, rather than depending on execution order to place them in the right depths.
