How about making it be two layers, with the partially obscured
layer being SIMPLE_REFRESH ---> not much wasted mem.

Much better idea -> Make layers be nestable. Then you could do
something like this:

rast=screen.RastPort;

	nw.Raster=rast;
	win1=OpenWindow(&nw);

	nw2.Raster=win1->Raster;
	win2=OpenWindow(&nw2);

This would place win2 inside of win1, much like windows are
now contained in screens.
This would provide GIMMEZEROZERO type windows for free, so to speak.

I suppose the guys at CBM will think this is hard to do or something,
right ? :-)
