Can someone explain the following effect to me?

I have a simple picture in xfig with black lines and only one layer. I export 
the figure as metapost, run mpost and rename the extension to mps. Then the 
figure is included in the TeX-file with includegraphics. This way I get black 
lines in my dvi-viewer and white lines after postprocessing with ppower4 
(white is also the color I use for text). This fine, although I don't 
understand why.

Now, if I introduce more layers (in order to cover some parts of the picture 
with the background color) the color of the lines after postprocessing  
changes from white to black, but sometimes only in some layers. I'm lost and 
can't determine what the displayed colors actually depend on.

The setup is basically that from leveldemo.tex.

Thank you,
Nils Rosehr
