docs: warn about layer stacking strategies

Layers won't stack if they're siblings. They'll only stack if they're parents.

It is better to be clear about this subject to avoid surprises.

 In real life, the isolated layer can contains a Python environment or
 Node modules.
 
+Keep in mind that each layer will only be able to strip out nix store paths
+that exist in their _child_ layers (because layers can contain layers), not in
+their _sibling_ layers. So, if you did it like this, chances are that there
+were some repeated nix store paths between layers 1 and 2. In that case, you
+must choose between optimizing image cache or image size:
+
+```nix
+{ pkgs }:
+let
+  application = pkgs.writeScript "conversation" ''
+    ${pkgs.hello}/bin/hello
+    echo "Haaa aa... I'm dying!!!"
+  '';
+  layer1 = pkgs.nix2container.buildLayer { deps = [pkgs.bash]; };
+  layer2 = pkgs.nix2container.buildLayer { deps = [pkgs.hello]; };
+in
+pkgs.nix2container.buildImage {
+  name = "hello";
+  config = {
+    entrypoint = ["${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash" application];
+  };
+  # These layers might duplicate a store path
+  layers = [layer1 layer2];
+}
+```
+
+If you have many layers and you want to control their splitting manually, but
+still avoid duplicating data, you can just fold them:
+
+```nix
+{ lib, pkgs }:
+let
+  application = pkgs.writeScript "conversation" ''
+    ${pkgs.hello}/bin/hello
+    echo "Haaa aa... I'm dying!!!"
+  '';
+in
+pkgs.nix2container.buildImage {
+  name = "hello";
+  config = {
+    entrypoint = ["${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash" application];
+  };
+  # Folding layers to avoid duplicating store paths
+  layers = lib.foldl
+    (acc: current:
+      [(pkgs.nix2container.buildLayer (current // {layers = acc;}))])
+    []
+    [
+      {deps = [pkgs.bash]}
+      {deps = [pkgs.hello]}
+    ];
+}
+```
