Roofs shading other roofs?

I have another question about EnergyPlus. I made a study with a stair stepped roof, the lower steps seemed to be shaded. Then I deleted all the wall surfaces leaving only roof surfaces and the lower steps were no longer shaded. Can roof surfaces shade other roof surfaces in EnergyPlus?
