[OpenLayers-Users] How to - severable clickable WFS layers ?

Thanks! Sure enough I was mixing in other layers.
I chose only the WFS layers now but I am only able to click on the last
layer that is listed. If I put "map.layers[2,3,4]", I get popups for layer 4
but no one else.

selectControl = new
OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(map.layers[2,3,4,5],{onSelect:
onFeatureSelect, onUnselect: onFeatureUnselect});
           map.addControl(selectControl);
           selectControl.activate();
           function onPopupClose(evt) {
                selectControl.unselect(selectedFeature);
            }

I wonder if this is a good approach for what I want to accomplish? I looked
at this example which uses OpenLayers switch features.
http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/apps/OLExamples/OL26/examples/styles_unique_with_group.html

I would else have to hide a layer when another is shown since users would
not understand why every marker in all visible layers are not clickable.

Thanks for any input!!
