one on top of the other?

When we stack things to form a tower, do we stack one on top of the other or one on top of another?

Is it possible that when we stack one thing on top of the other, the tower has only two layers?

Help appreciated in advance.

Delayed thanks for Philip and CB!

I searched online before posting the question and found that English users don't seem to limit "one...the other" to speaking of two items only. What's more confusing, "one...another" is often used when the discussion involves only two choices. As CB says, English is not very logic sometimes.
