Answer 1

Assuming you want two panels added to a single frame:

Set a layout for your parent JFrame and add the two panels. Something like the following

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
//frame.setLayout(); - Set any layout here, default will be the form layout
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
frame.add(panel1);
frame.add(panel2);

Assuming you want to add one panel over the other

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
frame.add(panel1);
panel1.add(panel2);

There is no limit on the number of panels to be added on the JFrame. You should understand that they all are containers when seen on a higher level.
