Views & Staying On Top / Accessing Across Apps

I've been rooting through documentation as part of learning how to program for OS X, but I still have much to get used to.

Out of interest, do NSView or any other class that would be considered 'visual' support any kind of stay-on-top semantics (or slightly less specifically, stay-in-front-of-another-view semantics) without actually being a subview? Docking (without specific support from the owning application to implement the feature - I'm talking about built into the framework)?

Another view / window question: Is it possible to access the views / windows of another application, with the intention of moving / sizing them (and, if a stay-on-top / -in-front flag is supported, setting that)?

(If you're wondering, I'm thinking along the lines of a utility that would add sticky / docking facilities to the views / windows of an app that otherwise doesn't support it.)

Thanks in advance.
