I just asked a similar question of a reviewer, in regard to rearranging some caches of mine in order to squeeze in another. I was told one ammo box cache needed to stay 528′ or more from the first stage of my multi, which is a metal strip hanging in a tree. If it is part of the multi, the distance requirements are the same as for a cache.

If you are only talking about a single cache the stages and final may be as close or as far as you like. If another cache is involved (yours or someone elses) then you need to be 528 feet away from any physical item (WPT marker or container).
From geocaching.com
Cache containers and physical stages should generally be separated by a minimum of 0.1 miles (528 feet
If that is the case the word generally should be removed and replaced with must! “Generally” should give us some leeway in distance, like if caches are close to 500′ apart, instead of over 528′, and seperated by a river.
Proximity is the devil.
