In your situation then yes, you should not do this. Since you want the smaller view to appear on top of the larger view, you can just make it a subview of the larger view instead. Alternatively, you can subclass the larger view and override its drawRect: to draw the label manually. Note that it is possible to have overlapping views on 10.4. The caveat quoted else-thread is fairly specific about what doesn't work, and if you arrange things properly you can work around the problems. I have a shipping app that's had overlapping views on Tiger for two years with no problems. But I recommend using just about any alternative you can find first, especially if you're using standard Apple views. (My working overlapping views are all custom views.) The nice thing is that Tiger is a stationary target these days, so if you get it working on Tiger despite the warnings and rely on the guaranteed behavior in Leopard, you should be in good shape. In theory a security update or something of that nature could be released which breaks your stuff, but that's really unlikely to happen at this point.
