LOL... oh the inner turmoil!
Because it can be. Its not unusual for people to throw an additional coat of glaze down over the top of whatever else is on the car at a show for a quick shine bump.
Obviously being a glaze the effects are in for a good time, not a long time. The glaze will wash away easily being the last thing applied, but for a quick, short term bump to shine, its great.

Wax doesn't need to bond with the paint, like sealant does. Glaze provides no protection/durability so, although it looks great, it won't last long on top. Waxing over it adds some durability to the shine.
EDIT: Dylan was faster on the draw than I was...

I'm going to respectfully disagree with Frank.
Wash
Glaze
Americana
Glaze will only help with filling properties if applied direct to the finish and unlike sealants waxes don't so much bond with the surface. They act more like a candy coating on a peanut m&m riding along on top.
If you were dealing with a sealant then I'd reverse the order and do sealant then glaze, reason being that sealant do indeed try to bond to the surface and having a barrier between them and the paint does reduce the durability, which afterall is the primary reason for choosing a sealant over a wax.
