To answer part of my own questions, I found that I can setup a cam job 

for each layer that I need.

The only question left is for generating a Gerber of an internal power 

plane. Do I include there also the pads (17), via(18) and dimension(20) 

layer?

Hello Robert,

Because there isn't an always correct answer for this, visiting the 

Eurocircuits link Warren mentioned a few post earlier, gives me this:

Layer conversion rules - syntax:

Layer function (.file extension)     consists of Eagle layer(s) : Eagle layer 

number & function + …

Solder stop Component side (.STC)     = 20 Dimension layer + 29 tStop laye

Silkscreen Component side (.PLC)      = 20 Dimension layer + 21 tPlace layer + 

25 tNames layer

Componentside (.CMP)                    = 1 Top layer + 17 Pads layer + 18 Vias layer 

+ 20 Dimension layer

Inner layers (.Lox)                    = x Inner layer + 17 Pads layer + 18 Vias layer + 

20 Dimension layer

Solderside (.SOL)                         = 16 Bot layer + 17 Pads layer + 18 Vias layer + 20 

Dimension layer

Solder stop Solder side (.STS)        = 30 bStop layer + 20 Dimension layer

Silkscreen Solder side (.PLS)         = 22 bPlace layer + 26 bNames layer + 20 

Dimension layer

Milling (.MILING)                  = 46 Milling layer + 47 Measures layer + 20 

Dimension Layer

Excellon drill (.DRD)                   = 44 Drills layer + 45 Holes laye

Cream frame Componentside(.PMC)       = 31 tCream layer + 20 Dimension layer

Cream frame Solderside (.PMS)      = 32 bCream layer + 20 Dimension layer

So the answer seems pretty obvious....
