i have the feeling that that will get into trouble :-), but im no expert
here. If what you mean is:

	mount_unionfs /md-0 /jail-0
and then 
	mount_unionfs /md-1 /jail-0/xyz

which is not strickly 'stacked', might work and should be easy to try out, but
IMHO, breaks the KISS principle :-)

and also, im not sure if:
	mkdir /jail-0/xyz
	mount_unionfs /md-1 /jail-0/xyz
is the same as the above.
