I have a scene where I have a few different render layers that I need to put on top of each other for the final render. Everything works fine when I have transparent background checked for the render but I need to also have the environment background image behind everything. Also, the camera moves and displays different parts of the background, so I can't just alpha over everything on top of an image texture. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

$\begingroup$ you could add another render layer that only have the environment background pass enabled and compose it underneath the other layers $\endgroup$ – user2816 Jul 10 '16 at 20:59

Enable Environment in the render layers.
Enable Film, transparent.
Then composite your layers with transparency together, and place them over the Environment using Alpha Over.

$\begingroup$ Could you attach a .blend please, I can't reproduce your results, my background won't show up. I tested this in a recent daily build. $\endgroup$ – WhatAMesh Sep 7 '18 at 10:31
