I'm not sure if this would completely answer your question... but firstly, images shouldn't really ever overlap in a LinearLayout. If you're using a RelativeLayout, they definitely can overlap, and the image on top will be whatever was loaded last in the XML.

If I understand what you're attempting to do - kind of transparency (so to speak) of the top image so that portions of the bottom image are displayed along with portions of the top image ... I do things like that all the time by overriding the onDraw() method on my View to handle the image painting myself. There's allot of examples on the net for this - simple stuff.
