layouts X layers

hey guys,

when I will create some game with many levels, is it better to have my project like this:    

1 level = 1st layout

2 level = 2nd layout

3 level = 3rd layout

...........

or like this:

1 level = 1st layer

2 level = 2nd layer (the previous one would be invisible)

If you search, you'll find that Ashley has answered this previously.

Layers are meant to be combined in a Layout, where each Layout would represent a Level. The Layers would be used for such as Parallax, Hud etc to add detail to each Layout/Level.

It's the best and most logical way of doing things.
