Whenever specifying layers in GAP dialogs, the layers are described by  
their stack positions -- by default: 0=topmost, 1=second from top, etc  
(there is usually an option to reverse the numbering so that  
0=background, 1=second from bottom, etc). These stack positions will  
be converted to appropriate layerIDs when PDB or libgimp functions are  
called.

If this is not sufficient for what you are attempting, perhaps you  
could elaborate on your goals.
