I've not made two layer footprints, but reuse layout areas by the hierarchic named subschematics
method.  You have to use the attribute source=schematicname.sch  and optionally
footprint=layout-zone, then don't have any
footprint named layout-zone.fp, just load some layout of that onto you layout and change the refdes values
as you go. (with or without a script).  The netlist will have no mention of layout-zone, just the subschematic names
changed to flat.  The refdes names end up being like:    S1/C1  S1/C2 S2/C1 S2/C2  etc.
