In that example the boxes are deliberately setup not to collide with each
other.  You can arrange for any collision objects to be collidable or non
collidable with each other as meets your needs...  those demos were simply
built to show off something else and didn't setup collisions in that way.
Doesn't sound like this will affect you but only a select few collision
primitives are supported right now (sphere, box, plane, capped cylinders)
and there isn't any support for polygon soup versus polygon soup for
example.
