The current impr-gen patch, and FreecivAC CVS, have full code for this
already; below is the current impr-gen ruleset entry for the AEGIS Cruiser,
which works now...

name          = _("AEGIS Cruiser")
...
effect        = 
    { "type", "amount", "aff_unit"
        "Unit_Defend", 500, "Air"
        "Unit_Defend", 500, "Heli"
        "Unit_Defend", 500, "Missile"
    }

Note the similarity to your example. ;)

I don't see any reason why you couldn't add extra classes for your
different layers. In fact, with current FreecivAC CVS you should be able
to do this now without writing any code, since unit classes in FreecivAC
are ruleset-defined. Somebody else can mess with killstack and stuff
though...
