What is rendered on top and what not depends on GPS Firmware. For old 
GPS it is opposite to Mapsource 6.16 if you use a .TYPfile. If you omit 
entries from typfile, it changes order. There are quite a lot of 
variables, and in general stuff on top of each other is stupid. Better 
use transparency wisely, it's much more powerful than layers or top/down 
drawings, and it works consitstent on all GPS except Zumo (all that is 
all that are able to use .TYP-files).
