Transparency does not seem to properly be applied in your example. You find a slightly improvement by adding in setup:

```auto
hint(DISABLE_DEPTH_TEST);
hint(ENABLE_DEPTH_SORT);

```

Now you can see the top sphere shows transparency but the bottom sphere does not have any. I do not have an immediate solution but I would like to record the next two post for reference:

- Previously similar issue: [Draw-order based transparency issue](https://discourse.processing.org/t/draw-order-based-transparency-issue/22675)
- [Draw order in 3D](https://discourse.processing.org/t/draw-order-in-3d/4789/14)
