Layer work with Accessibility. It really depends on how you show the layer and if the base layer needs to be clickable.
If the base layer needs to be clickable then the focus order should be arranged so the layer content comes after the button or object that shows the layer.
If the base layer doesn't need to be clickable e.g. a popup. Then set the layer to prevent user clicking on the base layer or modal dialogue and then the content does not need to be placed just organised in a logical order as it will take focus as soon as it is shown.
