If I understand what RangeRover is saying correctly, these are usually called layered openings.
Tons of great examples. One of my favorites:

A lot of the records that Norman Whitfield produced by The Temptations are like that. Probably the most well known is "Papa Was A Rolling Stone".

If you mean parts that enter in succession I agree. Maybe it's my cloth ears but I don't hear that in "YATSOML"...
Here's a sterling example of what I think RR means: it's the title track from Robert Fripp's 1979 solo album Exposure.

The successive entries are as follows:
1) Guitar tremolo
2) Spoken text (J.G. Bennett)
3) Drums
4) Guitar loops ("Frippertronics")
5) Bass and "XPOSURE" spelled out by Fripp and Eno
6) Piano
7) Rhythm guitar
6) Title screeched by Terre Roche

This is off topic, but I never noticed the similarity of the beginning to "WATSOML", and then beginning of Dennis's "You And I".

In YATSOML, the layering includes the vocals.
1. Keyboard and drums
2. Male vocals
3. Female vocals and background singers
3. Stevie Wonder and trumpets
One of the most well done song openings ever IMO.
