In my letter template I now do:
    \setupbackgrounds[page][background={myAddr,WatermarkOverlay}]

That even works if the watermark template is not included. So, so far so good.

But I was wondering if it could be generalized. I was thinking about
the following. A variable backgroundList is defined and in every
template where layers are defined, those layers are added to
backgroundList. And then the following statement is used:
    \setupbackgrounds[page][background=\@backgroundList]

Is something like this possible?
