1) When I run it, all the objects placed in the TOP_CENTER as you can see in the code I tried to place the button in the BOTTOM_RIGHT and it didn't work.

2) Can a Scene include two layouts? (Two VBox-es for example).

public void NewQuestion ()
{ sum++; t=new Text("Question number: "+sum); textfield=new TextField(); pane = new VBox(); Button NextQuestion = new Button ("Next Question"); NextQuestion.setOnAction(e-> NextQuestionButtonClicked(e)); pane.getChildren().addAll(t, textfield, NextQuestion); pane.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_CENTER); NextQuestion.setAlignment(Pos.BOTTOM_RIGHT);//<--- Scene mainscene = new Scene(pane,420, 530); Qstage.setScene(mainscene);
}

Answering your second question first : each layout is a node so you can make a Hbox and then add 2 Vboxs to it and in a similar fashion have all combinations of it. since each button is also a node, you can add a Vbox and a button to an Hbox to position them horizontally with respect to each other

Now back to your first question: Here is a list and an example with Pos.CENTER and Pos.CENTER_LEFT :

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions about this

1) button.setAlignment sets how the text and icons are places inside the button (javadoc). To align the button within a pane you should apply desired alignment to the pane itself. In you case:

pane.setAlignment(Pos.BOTTOM_RIGHT);

instead of

pane.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_CENTER);

2) The Scene should have a single root. But the root itself may be a VBox or HBox and you could put multiple boxes inside other box.
