In the case of stripboard I believe it's provable in the case where, after assigning a unique id to each shared node in a circuit, we examine the path traced between nodes by each component. In the simple case if the leads of all components connect to 2 shared nodes, those components are in parallel (or shorted) and occupy 2 strips
If the path between nodes (across components) produces no name clashes between unique node ids, then I believe the circuit is provably "concentric" with no crossings. For stripboard that would mean each strip has only adjacent connections, but the concentric geometry could be reintroduced when you jump or break a strip (say for a dip) and assign the nearest free strip a shared id
