What defines "topmost" for an element?  The silk layer?



If silk is visible, then the viewed side silk is topmost. Next comes the active drawing layer, which is equal with pins and vias, going on down through the layer stack i.e. the way it's drawn) "Invisible" objects come last. You can always do things like turn off visibilities, change active layers, flip the view etc. to get to what you want.

It can be a trouble to select two overlapping objects if they're on the same layer - you really need to zoom in to where you can click one while being at least 5 pixels from the other.
