Why would your bathroom shower begin to flood everytime you use your upstairs shower or sink?
The shower drain and waste lines on up to the other fixtures located above need to be clear so that water will flow. Just downhill of the shower drain there is probably a blockage in the waste pipe. The blockage could cause slow draining. If it is completely blocked, the shower pan will not drain back out over time. You will need to run a plumbers snake down the line below the shower drain. If the toilet in the same room as the shower when flushed also shows water coming into the shower drain, it will be best to take up the toilet off the base and run a plumbers snake from that point. Warning for very slow draining lines or lines that do not drain, DO NOT use Drain cleaning chemicals. Good luck and you may wish to call rotorooter.
To make your own shower stall do you need to have your drain lower?
The drain has to be slightly lower than the rest of the floor. If you tile over a cement floor, it will very gently slope down to a central drain, or a drain at the end. Try to visit some that have been done the way you want to help envision this.

What would cause the garbage disposal in an apartment to back up into the bathtub which is now not draining?
Your kitchen sink drain and your shower drain are connected to a common drain line. There is some sort of blockage in the drain line past the point where the shower drain ties in. You need to call a plumber to run a snake through the drain line from the kitchen to where it ties in to the main drain of your house.
Can the drains for a shower and sink come before the drain for the toilet Example the sink and shower then comes toilet then enters main stack?
In my experience I've seen this type of scenario in older buildings. Usually the sink will tie into the stack in the wall while the shower generaly connects in below the toilet also known as the closet bend. In alot of older houses and apartment complexs they have tied multiple drains together in a smaller pipe before going to a larger one. For example the lav with the tub, the kitchen sink with a tub, or all three together.
Why does your shower leak once the toilet is flushed?
The drains for the shower, toilet and sink all connect to a common line. Assuming the toilet is not backing up, the problem indicates that there may be a partial blockage, enough so that some of the toilet flow is backing up through the shower drain line. You need plumbing repair. The shower leak you mention should only be in the shower, or else you have a broken drain line as well.

How do you fix a plumbing problem that causes the drainage waste from the kitchen sink to flow out of the drain in your shower?
It would be my suggestion that you need to have the sewer "snaked" out as there is an apparent obstruction in the run from the bath area to your septic tank or sewer line and the the kitchen is "up-stream" from that bathroom, or, perhaps the shower is on the back side of your kitchen waste and the obstruction is associated with the showers drain and waste run...i.e., a hair clog, etc, is building up and combining with the waste material from the kitchen. Perhaps there is a clean-out plug under the kitchen sink which you can run a small "snake" through.

If you have a drain available. You may need to chip some concrete around the drain to install the bottom half of the drain.
