I've been in the habit of putting layer #'s on my copper layers and 
arrange them like this:


  [ 1 2 3 4]

where the [] indicate a region free of any planes and the "1" is on the 
top layer, 2 on the 2nd, 3 on the 3rd, etc.  They are offset just like I 
typed.  This way I can take my board, hold it up to the light and at 
least on a 4 layer board be sure that they did the stackup the way I 
want (the 3 is harder to see than the 2).  Its also a good sanity check 
for the layers (don't forget the 4 is _backwards_ when viewed from the 
bottom layer.
