Is there a significant difference between Frito Pie and Nachos other than the variety of toppings?

I don't know if the Texas version is different, but in Santa Fe, Frito pie is served right in the Frito bag, and eaten with a fork, unlike nachos. This was supposedly invented at the Woolworth's on the Santa Fe plaza. At first the Fritos are crunchy, but by the time you get to the bottom, the Fritos are soft. Mmm!
I would love to hear if it is different in Texas (other than, of course, beanless chili).
