Don't overlap sibling views. Even though it works reliably now, it

Do you mean sibling *views* shall not overlap, or do you mean
*controls* shall not overlap?
Apart from user interface design, is there a strong reason not to do
so in general?
If you must use the same area of the user interface for different
purposes at different times, consider using a tab view with no
visible tabs and programmatically changing which subview of the
tabview is visible.
How would you solve this problem:
There is a view which shows a movie. If you click (or tap) inside the
view, a control appears within the movie view.
(The control view and the movie view may share the same super view,
and the control view may not be a sub view of the movie view. If this
is the case, the movie view and the control inevitable overlap.)
