Jean-Pierre,

Thank you for explaining that vias' (shape) attributes actually 
specify the permitted layer pairs for each via, rather than the layer 
pair which is actually used.

As you have provided me with that explanation, I now appreciate that 
the changes which I recently made were inappropriate, so I will 
remove them ASAP.

Regards,
Geoff Harland.
