You place all the overlays there where you want them and make the overlays invisible first with the opacity
Example
&OVERLAY1 scales to 1.000 1.000
&OVERLAY1 opacity 0 in 0
&OVERLAY2 scales to 1.000 1.000
@OVERLAY2 opacity 0 in 0

Then you let them fade
@OVERLAY1 opacity 1 in 2
@pause for 2
@OVERLAY1 opacity 0 in 2
@OVERLAY2 opacity 1 in 2
@pause for 2
@OVERLAY2 opacity 0 in 2

And so on…

&overlay CONTAINS opacity 0 in 8
&overlay MATURE opacity 0 in 8
&overlay LANGUAGE opacity 0 in 8
&overlay AND2 opacity 0 in 8
&overlay ADVISE opacity 0 in 8
this is the first set of overlays and it faded away which i wanted so now i am trying to figure to add the next set to fade in once the other set fades out

&overlay NEW1 create
&overlay NEW1 shifts to x y
&overlay NEW1 scales to #
&overlay NEW1 opacity 1 in [time]

&overlay NEW2 create
&overlay NEW2 shifts to x y
&overlay NEW2 scales to #
@overlay NEW2 opacity 1 in [time]

&overlay CONTAINS opacity 0 in 8
&overlay MATURE opacity 0 in 8
&overlay LANGUAGE opacity 0 in 8
&overlay AND2 opacity 0 in 8
@overlay ADVISE opacity 0 in 8
