You need to set

propagateComposedEvents: true

on the top MouseArea and in the signal handler of the top MouseArea set

mouse.accepted = false

so that it propagates clicks, doubleClicks etc to the underlying 
MouseArea. See

http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-release/qtquick/qml-qtquick2-mousearea.html#propagateComposedEvents-prop

Cheers,

Sean
