Can you find intersecting polygons?

[Abe Gillespie]

You should be able to use shapeObj::intersects() to test for
intersecting polygons.  This, of course, assumes you know in advance
the polygons you want to test.

You can also do mapObj,layerObj::queryByShape()

One of these should solve your problem.
