ant.lua supports this directly. You can have several cell tables - 
standard is the one named 'cells'. And several level maps - standard is 
the one named 'level'. If you use non-standard name, just write it to 
level generatin function, such as:

      create_world_by_map(floors, fcells)
      draw_map(0, 0, stones, scells)
      draw_map(0, 0, items,  icells)
      draw_map(0, 0, actors, acells)

Just advice - never use default parent when using layered maps. Upper 
layers would cover lower ones with default parent.

More info should be in enigma/doc/ant_lua.txt, chapter 3.2.
