No. Adjacent squares don't intersect.
x1 x2=x3 x4 +---------+ y1 | +---------+ y3 | | | | | | | | | +---------+ | y2 +---------+ y4

    If two lines can intersect in a point, can't two squares intersect in a point or a line?

    Adjacent squares would be side by side, in the above the edge of each square intersect.
    So x2=x3 means that the edge of one square intersects with the edge of the other...
      From a CS's perspective, at least in the era where I dealt with this, the bot right corner is usually just beyond the square itself.
