I used your information for my school project, and it got me a grand grade! thanks a bundle!
because i am elderly man.
I was thinking of submitting a smiilar variant myself. Just as well that I saw this page first and saved the bother.
The game resembles much to Pillar Chess (described on this site) and >>Das trojanische Spiel<< (commercial, german game, having a link in the german section of this site).
The site gives no explicit answer to that question.
My own opinion is as follows:
Since it is the topmost man that determines who the stack belongs to
and how it moves, you shouldn't be able to castle with a Rook that's
inside a stack.
You should, however, regain the option of doing so if the Rook is uncaptured without having been moved out of the corner.
Likewise, a Pawn captured and released before having moved should be able to make a double move.

Thanks for clarifying. Can you castle using a rook which has been 'captured' but not left its original square and is now in a friendly stack?
The King can never be within a stack. You may not capture your own King
(otherwise the first thing you'd do would be to use your Queen to do so,
creating a royal Queen that would be very hard to checkmate), and, as in
OrthoChess, a King may not be left _en prise_ until checkmated. --ID
If the king is within a stack, can that stack cross a square that is under attack by the opponent?
