[OpenLayers-Users] Switching Layers Assigned to a SelectFeature Control

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Bill,

Keep in mind that only your top layer is the only one you can interact 
with. Plus, I'm not sure if what you're trying to do is a good practice. 
I would recommend on control per layer, only one usable at a time on the 
top most layer. You could register some visibilitychanged events to 
determine which layer is on top and activate the related control on the 
same time.

Best of luck,

Alexandre
