Save Selected Layers (started in general photoshop forum)

Question

So this is a continuation of the thread started in the general photoshop forum about exporting layers.
Michael Hale  responded to that post...
Thanks! Those were helpful tips.  I have another question that may not be as easy...
I have a top layer that I want to serve as a border for all the other layers.  Is there a way to automate that? So that it save every layer individually with the top layer?
Thanks

Well this might need some fine tuning but it will save each layer with the top(border) layer as a jpg in the same folder as the document using the layer's name as the filename.
// refence to selected document
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// path to doc
var saveFolder = doc.path;
// referece to top layer
var borderLayer = doc.layers[0];
// make top layer the active layer
doc.activeLayer = borderLayer;
// hide all the other layers
hideOtherLayers();
// loop remaining layer and save each with border
for( var i = 1; i < doc.layers.length; i++ ){
   // reference the layer
   var current = doc.layers[i];
   // turn on the layer
   current.visible = true;
   // save the layer with border
   saveAsJPG( new File( saveFolder+'/'+current.name+'.jpg'), 8 );
   // turn off layer
   current.visible = false;
   // next layer
function hideOtherLayers(){//activeLayer
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
            var ref = new ActionReference();
            var list = new ActionList();
            ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );
        list.putReference( ref );
    desc.putList( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), list );
    desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID( "TglO" ), true );
     executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Shw " ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
function saveAsJPG( saveFile, jpegQuality ){
     jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
     jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
     jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
     jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
     jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
     activeDocument.saveAs( saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE );
