Is layering always more secure? Layering may create more complexity in the system overall (usually bad for security) and spreads efforts thinner if you are maintaining both sandboxes. What's the difference between good and bad layering?

The idea being: each slice may have a hole, but when sandwiched together, the route of entry is blocked. I've heard the adage: 'complexity enlarges the attack surface' before, but not in all cases especially. Sometimes security 'maxims' get in the way of security.
