The answer to this question is that there is no answer.

The major flaw with master pages is that it can only be the BOTTOM most layer on each page.

This is horrible when you have something like a navigation or a footer that you want to sit "above" all other content on every other page. Sometimes a logo might overlap content a bit in the design like a unique background for certain pages. Sorry, putting that logo in the Master Page will not work because it will be the bottom most layer and will be overlapped by the content in the Web Layer for each page.

There are work-arounds of course by taking the logo (or other overlapping element) out of the Master Page and placing it on the top of the Web Layer for each additional page... but this of course defeats the entire PURPOSE of having a Master Page to begin with which is to keep static elements in a design in one place to update them easily.

Fix this Adobe! It is ridiculous! We should be able to move the Master Page to be in any order within the layer stack. That is just common sense!
