Stung by the merge layer!

Argh! This must be a right of CC3+ passage or something. Just spent an hour trying to figure out why some glow effects on some text didn't work at all. Read through the documentation, tried a hundred different settings, reset layer and sheet selection, renamed stuff, ect ect. Finally I see a discussion from last year that talked about the MERGE layer and how it actually holds effect, instead of the layer that the effect is applied to. BINGO. Effect works now. I see several discussions on this board where many have had the same issue.
So to make this a real question and not just a rant, are there other layers/sheets that perform special and not well documented functions that will get me down the road?

While not as important, the TEMPLATE layer also have a special function, in that it contains a single point on each sheet, since completely empty sheets aren't stored with the drawing. Single points are usually invisible, but some effects my cause them to turn up, so this sheet should normally always be hidden.
Sheet sequnce can also have an effect.
Sea
Land
Rivers
Symbols
The sheets are drawn top down. So the Sea sheet is drawn first.
