Yes. I had the same problem. Have GND and AGND in schematic, and want to make a connection at one point in layout. I tried to make a footprint with two overlapping pads for this connection. I was not happy with this -- I think the problem was that in pcb program then the nets are merged, so it was impossible to see what was AGND and what GND. My solution: I made two gschem symbols for a net connection, one open and one closed, each with two pins. For these symbols I made a footprint with two pads. Pads are not overlapping, so I have still AGND and GND net in PCB. Drawback: Where I have used the closed symbol in schematic, I have an open pad, which need a drop of solder to make it right. My symbols and footprints are available at gedasymbols, I think called SolderJumper.
