The default behavior is to cache all the labels and draw them on top after
all layers are rendered. You can use LABELCACHE OFF to draw the labels with
the layer so that any layers after it are drawn on top:

from the docs:
-------------------
LABELCACHE [on|off]

Specifies whether labels should be drawn as the features for this layer are
drawn, or whether they should be cached and drawn after all layers have been
drawn. Default is on. Label overlap removal, auto placement etc... are only
available when the label cache is active.

Of course that last line about no overlap removal might make the results
kind of messy but it's worth a shot.
