Layering is just as you say it, you layer basslines. Just make sure that no freqs clash, so yeah, you low-cut on and high-cut the other.
Most tracks these days consists a subbass (usually below 150Hz) and a higher on (above 150Hz) you can layer as much as you like, just make sure to EQ them properly.
You can watch the airbase tutorials on youtube, where he layered basslines. |

| Right now I'm making a Bass that has 3 layers. Though all of them are cut at 50hz and below [two are cut at 200+ and below]. I tend to use 100-200hz range as bass, and anything lower is strictly kick drum or other percussion. |

Layering basslines can mean different things to different people. It could mean doubling a bassline with a sub bass an octave lower, so both basses are playing the same notes/pattern, an octave apart.
Or it could mean a sub bass playing an offbeat pattern while a higher bass plays a more involved pattern.
Or many other variations.
As to whether they go into the same channel is a creative decision. Set up your groups in ways that make sense to you. If it's a really small sounding acid-type bass with the lows/ low mids completely cut away, maybe you could put this in with the lead group. Whatever makes sense to you.
A lot of songs have the lowest frequencies in mono, without effects such as delays and reverbs. If you do send the low bass to a left-right delay, it often sounds a lot better if you put an EQ/filter after the delay and cut out the low frequencies. Of course, this is just a generalisation. There are instances where a wide low bass works really well. |

Get a mid bass , give it a arp pattern
Get a low mid bass , give it a arp pattern
Get a sub bass , give it a standard eurodance pattern
There you have it, layering basslines. |
