Well, if it's not part of the documented interface, the implementors
will do whatever seems convenient at the moment. In this case, I could
well imagine adding new child widgets at the front of a linked list
(which is simpler) and then rendering the list front-to-back. This would
render the widgets newest-to-oldest, thus letting the older ones
overpaint the newer.

But the point is:  you can't rely on anything if it's not in the
official interface -- the implementors are free to (and will!) change
those things.
