The potential problem is that underlying layers may not be totally dry. If you wait until each layer is dry there should be no problem using many layers (unless you’re using an outlandish medium such as olive oil, stand oil, and oil of cloves, or some such).

Many artists frequently oil out, or use retouch varnish between each layer. If you think about it, retouch varnish is in a sense a glaze.

Many artists don’t have the discipline to leave a painting alone until it’s dry. I work on about 12 paintings at once to ensure layers dry properly. Art is long; life is short.
