This is the purpose of OrderedGroup. In your example below,
you don't mention whether or not Z buffering has been disabled.
If Z buffering is enabled, you still won't see the second cube.

>OrderedGroup.addChild( new ColorCube( 2.0 ) );
>OrderedGroup.addChild( new ColorCube( 1.0 ) );
>sceneBG.add( OrderedGroup );
