ATPLs Last?

Hi all,
I was wondering why the ATPLs are always done before the CPL? Would it not be possible to go through the training up to CPL and IR, then whilst holding a job as a flight instructor or charter pilot, do the ATPL's distance learning then? At least you would be in a flying environment, I would find studying for ATPLs whilst working in say, an office harder than working for them as a flight instuctor. Also, the 4K spent on getting the ATPLs could be spent on the CPL, so getting a flying job sooner, meaning that I would be more experienced wereas flying hours are concerned.
Thanks
