Yes, I think so.

All bg is unrelated, and control on card:
   control --> card --> bg4 |
                        bg3 |
                        bg2 v
                        bg1 --> stack

All bg is unrelated, and control is included in bg3:
               bg4 ( no message )
   control --> bg3 --> stack
               bg2 ( no message )
               bg1 ( no message )
               card ( no message )

bg3 is included bg2, and control is included in bg3:
               bg1 ( no message )
   control --> bg3 --> bg2 --> stack
               bg4 ( no message )
               card ( no message )


You can test it with such handlers:

-- script for some target object ( contorol, group, card .. )
on mouseUp
  theEvent
end mouseUp

-- script for some receiver object ( group, card, stack .. )
on theEvent
  put ( the short name of me ) & return after field 1
  pass theEvent
end theEvent
