Walking lists is easy in Lisp: gnet-makefile.scm has functions like:

(define (names-on-net net pintype)

	(sort
		(apply append
			(map
				get-files
				(packages-with-pintype net pintype)
			)
		)
		string<
	)
)

Which collects all of the filenames mentioned in file=3D and source=3D =
attributes on symbols attached to a net via pins with a given pintype.

This is, incidentally, an experiment with a different code formatting =
style from my usual. A lot more lines and tabs. Does that help?

I=92m skeptical that that will ever happen. How many years have buried =
vias been on the table? Pcb issues have weirdly taken over this thread, =
which is not about pcb at all.
