Jon,

I misunderstood your original intent.  I don't think cluttering the
board layer enums with all of the virtual layer and schematic layer
enums is a good idea.  It just seems like overkill to me.  I thought you
were going to create a separate enum for virtual board layers.  You
could always start the virtual board layer enums from the last board
layer enum if you need unique enums.  I would also prefer the schematic
layer enums be separate from the board layer enums for clarity.  Anyone
else have any thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Wayne
