As long as the last coat applied is DRY, you can paint either over either...eh? Good luck.
Even if that water based undercoat appears dry it still can take a fair amount of time to (be able to) hit it with anything laquer based. Also if you put on a coat of laquer based paint that is too heavy (wet) it could re-hydrate the underlying (water-based) paint and basically eat it off. Personally, the only laquer based product I use OVER water-based paint is my final gloss coats. And I ALWAYS let the fish dry at least several hours (preferably overnight) BEFORE attempting this...
