Or if you really don't want one additional StaysPut menu item, in 2.4.6+:

  + "StaysOnTop" SwapWithLayer 6
  + "StaysOnBottom" SwapWithLayer 2

  AddToFunc SwapWithLayer
  + I ThisWindow (Layer $0) Layer 0 10
  + I ThisWindow (Layer 4) Layer 0 $0
  + I ThisWindow (Layer 10) Layer 0 4

Actually you may do all this with only one menu item by 3-value looping
(Normal -> OnTop -> OnBottom -> Normal). Left as an exercise.

Mikhael.
