If you are asking whether the backtest uses the position in queue and fills you accordingly, the answer is no. There are two settings - fill on touch, or fill when penetrated. You should always use fill when penetrated.

The Inside Ask and Inside Bid is simulated during a backtest as far as I remember, as NT does not store the inside bid/ask fields in the storage database - only the Last gets stored. During a live test, the Inside Bid and Inside Ask will be correct and can be used to place Limit orders against.
