I more or less guess there are only a restricted number of overlays possible? Could that be a correct conclusion? The elegant way would have been being able to define separate positionoverlays for each picture, imho. However I found a practical solution in defining all items centrally within one positionoverlay. Up till now it has not failed, so I can live with that, but I cross my fingers it will still hold for a few hundred positional graphics.

I want to use the positionoverlay mechanism in several different figures (according to the metafun manual "Anchors and layers"). The problem is that the overlays show up in the last figure only, not in the first. If I do not typeset the second overlayseries, the first does appear. It looks like only the last overlayseries is kept. Why is this and how to remedy this?
I would like to help but I almost never use this stuff myself and your example code doesn't compile. Is it because both are on the same page? You effectively redefine the current page background in each \stopoverlaygraphics command.
