    Put the poly vapor barrier under the Amvic, above the other foam. If it's on the bottom of the stack in can harbor large quantities of water in pockets. When it's between two flat layers there no pockets can develop.

    Use Type-II or Type-IX EPS for the foam under the vapor barrier.

    Under the bottom foam it needs 4-6" of washed gravel as a capillary break and drain layer.
