A method is provided for intermixing a first graphics application (202) having a first graphics layer and a second graphics application (202) having a second graphics layer. The method comprises streaming a first graphics command (710) from the first graphics application (202) to a first memory location (206), where the first graphics command corresponds to the first graphics layer. The method also comprises streaming a second graphics command (710) from the second graphics application (202) to a second memory location (206), where the second graphics command corresponds to the second graphics layer. The method further comprises ordering the first graphics command and the second graphics command based on a priority scheme for the first graphics layer and the second graphics layer (716). The method further comprises providing ordered graphics commands (718) to a rendering interface (204).
