Creating Linux virtual filesystems a Question

Thanks very much for this helpful article.

I have a questions about mounted file systems within file systems.

Let's say within a ext3 root file system I create a file system foo at mount point /fooRoot.

I then create a node within the foo file system fooChild.

I then create sub node to fooChild, fooGrand.

Now I mount a ext2 file system on node fooGrand.

When a user tries to fopen( "/fooRoot/fooChild/fooGrand/someFile", "r" ) will that open request somhow be cleared through the foo file system before handed to the ext2 file system?
