Can we overlay layers from multiple Web Map Servers onto the online map?

Can we overlay layers from multiple Web Map Servers onto the online map? I'd like to be able to enhance the online dynamic maps with layers from Web Map Servers ( e. g. a layer of railroad tracks onto the existing online map). I thought I read that the WMS specification allows multiple layers to be overlaid with each other. Are the online maps WMS compliant as well?
