I don't think so. What are you trying to achieve?
Just wanted to know if it was possible. I guess I was thinking about layering that is typically available in photo editing programs.
Thanks

Simple answer is "no". One exception is the Core Area Layout. It's a block, but a special block in that it creates Areas which can then contain blocks.
A Horizontal Rule with an AutoNav in it, with a nested PageList... what kind of frankensite sort of thing would that be.
One way I could see this being actually useful would be some kind of positioning solution, as an alternative to Core Area Layout. Instead of a grid, maybe an absolute positioning div where you could place blocks in an exact spot inside of a canvas. That would be kind of interesting... for form layout.

Positioning a block on top of another block can be done with css using area and block styles.
Make div of the containing area position relative.
Then add css for position absolute, x and y offsets and a z-index to the block you want to position on top.
However, there is a very dangerous trap in doing such, it could position the block in a way that prevented the block underneath or even the area from being edited.
So a neater and safer approach would be to create a custom template for the on-top block that only applied the styles when not in edit mode.
