That would be possible in 3D and Draw is able to have true 3D objects. 
But the UI is so bad, that I do not recommend it for beginners in Draw.

You will likely need to make a "fake" 2D drawing.

I would draw one tube and do not use a closed ring, but an open one, 
which touches the tube at its open part and lays in front of the tube at 
the opposite side.

Of cause you can build union, combination, or group of objects. But it 
will not be possible, that one part of an object is in front and one 
part is behind another object in 2D.

Kind regards
