[OpenLayers-Users] Multiple Vector Layers

[Alexandre Dubé]

Hi,

   The layers order within the container shouldn't be affected by it and 
yes, if that layer container should be the top-most layer if your vector 
layers are added last (please, someone correct me if I'm wrong).

   You could provide some code or a live example if you have an issue 
with this.  It would be easier for us to help more.

Regards,

Alexandre
