Allowing pieces to intersect is (I think) an intended part of the game, the reason being that it allows you to build cross braced structures. (a box with two crossed struts bracing it). The fact that you can do it with all materials is a result of consistently applying that rule, and recognising that you might want to do that with all of different materials at different times.
Where it gets interesting is that the end nodes of each the material won't freely penetrate, which is why you get "The Force", and why the solutions to shis contest hold together and don't just slide apart
