It is a hard job to understand how all works ... I tried to create the first example of the documentation "Page 257 Anchors and layers", but failed with mkii and iv. The page is created, but without the graphical elements. Not using \startbuffer--\stopbuffer makes no difference.

I agree. That chapter is confusing if you do not know already how the mechanism works.

You are simply setting the positions. You also need to tell ConTeXt to do something with the positions.
1. First define a position graphic that does something with the anchors that it is passed.
\startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:arrow} pair c[] ; initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{self}}); c[1] := cxy ; initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{to}}); c[2] := cxy ; drawarrow c[1] -- c[2] withpen pencircle scaled 2bp ; \stopMPpositiongraphic
cxy is the center of the box. See the defn of initialize_box in mp-core.mp for other values. I wish these were better documented.
2. Then define a position overlay that specifies the relation between the anchors.
\startpositionoverlay{arrow} \setMPpositiongraphic{X-1}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-2} \setMPpositiongraphic{X-2}{mypos:arrow}{to=X-3} \stoppositionoverlay
3. Define an overlay that is mapped to MP position overlay.
\defineoverlay[arrow][\positionoverlay{arrow}]
4. Hook the overlay as a page background
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=arrow]
5. Then everything will work.

Hello list,
The solution shown here no longer works with recent beta (indeed, it probably ceased to work some time ago). How should it be corrected?
