We've taken pains to protect against multiple calls to show.  If you
can provide a script which replicates the problem.  Please test
against the latest matplotlib, preferably the next release, due out
tomorrow barring the unexpected (which is never expected).

This may be backend dependent, I haven't tested it.  But if it is the
highest figure on top you should be in good shape, right?, because you
can provide the figure numbers in the order you want the figures
to appear, bottom to top.
