> it must have something to do with layers and you would float an image to the top layer

Isn't it? If you float an image it does go to a top layer and blocks other non-float layer below it.

In 2d. The OP was using the term "top layer" in a 3d sense.

Ah, I just realized he's talking about float with inline elements.

I'm thinking of float with block elements, which works in the way OP originally thought.
