Is there a way of layering textures without having to use the layered texture or layered shader???

e.g. with "mask" nodes that you use to blend them..

(a b/w map that is used as the blender in a color blend node)

Well, the other masks (animation, rendering, components...) are selection masks, meaning it will give priority to selecting these entities.
Probably the most usefual are the object/component mask found under the Status Bar.
