Don't know what the default behavior is, but I do know that in Rev, a 
background is considered a type of group (a group with a special 
property enabled), and you can have multiple groups (including multiple 
backgrounds) in the same stack, as well as multiple backgrounds on the 
same card.  It should not be necessary to split them into separate 
stacks.
