hi Dom,
I didn't quite understand what you meant exactly by "switches", but a comfortable way I found to move panels (namely GOP subpatch/abs) is using iemguts.

Although iemguts is not included in pd-extended (and you'll find the reasons in a recent discussion on the list, you'll need to compile it) I found it worth to use it, 'cause it makes all this kind of things really easy.
However I seem to understand that you can have similar functionality in GridFlow too, but I never used it so far, so I couldn't point an object/s.

With iemguts you can simply move a GOP or any other subpatch/abstraction with:

[120 30 (    x/y position
|
[send mypanel]


then inside your "panel"

[receive mypanel]
|
[canvasposition]


[canvasposition] uses arguments to define whether to communicate to the parent patch, or the one it is included in.
There used to be a help-file which you could refer to.

nobody?
