Thanks Paolo,
After a bit more investigation, I found another feature that is also helpful. Set Visible Relations from the Current Connector toolbar[Ctrl+Shift+i] allows hiding/displaying individual relationships. This should be enough to create the layered diagram approach that I am trying to produce. What would be great is to take this a step further and allow hiding/displaying objects and relationships by type and stereotype and saving these settings as named diagram views. For example, an infrastructure diagram might have a deployment view, a security view, communication view, etc. This capability would be significantly enhance reuse.
