I'm not an expert on how the 3D Terrain works, but I assume it just 'distorts the tile images to create a slanting effect' and makes use of the player.z variable.

I don't belive it's possible to stack tiles on top of eachother for the reason that the heightmap is separate from the actual tile layout of the level. The heightmap maps out the height segments on the gmap. Each height segment is 3 tiles (If I recall correctly) and is just a static integer (not a degree/radian value.) If the height of the segment is below the 'waterheight' variable, the tile will be underwater (and given a nice blue-effect *gasp*)
