    Try:

    defun( MakeVisibleAdjacentLayers (clineDBID)
     let((subclass, etchSubclasses, clineIndex)
    subclass = cadr(parseString(clineDBID ->layer, "/"))
    etchSubclasses = axlSubclasses("ETCH")
    clineIndex = listnindex(etchSubclasses, subclass)
    unless(subclass == axlConductorTopLayer(); Turn on the layer above
    adjacentClass = nth(clineIndex - 1, etchSubclasses)
    axlVisibleLayer(strcat("ETCH/", adjacentClass), t)
    axlVisibleLayer(strcat("PIN/", adjacentClass), t)
    axlVisibleLayer(strcat("VIA CLASS/", adjacentClass), t)
    )
    unless(subclass == axlConductorBottomLayer(); Turn on the layer below
    adjacentClass = nth(clineIndex + 1, etchSubclasses)
    axlVisibleLayer(strcat("ETCH/", adjacentClass), t)
    axlVisibleLayer(strcat("PIN/", adjacentClass), t)
    axlVisibleLayer(strcat("VIA CLASS/", adjacentClass), t)
    )
    axlVisibleUpdate(t)
    ))
