I have a large stack and a small stack (Let's call the latter "Panel x").

From a script, "Panel x" needs to slide behind the right side of the large stack and switch to another panel ("Panel y") which slides back out. The problem is that I can't consistently control which is on top.

If a custom look for your windows is what you're after, then Scott Rossi's solution looks an excellent one.

But if you're looking for something more traditional and the goal is to provide a "progressive disclosure" in which options can be made available or not as the user chooses, you might consider the common and arguably underrated disclosure triangle:

They're easy to script, the Rev IDE provides the images you'll need, and they deliver a solution which meets the HIG expectations for all supported platforms.
