Hierarchical data - START WITH, CONNECT BY

Does MySQL support queries on hierarchical data? Such as Oracle's START WITH CONNECT BY ?

For instance, when we view the threads in this forum, they are arranged in a hierarchical style - the original message on the top followed by the string of other messages posted against the original message arranged in a treeview like layout. I have an employee table that can linked to itself using the ManagerID column but how do I generate the output to present in an hierarchical fashion?

Thanks.
