It's not clear to me what you mean. Perhaps you can achieve something like
this with groups and subscripts. The subscripts argument to the panel (or
panel.groups) function says which of the points are about to be plotted.
For example,
xyplot(y~x, groups=g,
panel.groups=function(x,y,groups,subscripts,pch,...) {
currentGroup=unique(groups[subscripts])
cat(paste("Drawing group",currentGroup,"\n"))
pch = ifelse(currentGroup=="good","+","*")
panel.xyplot(x,y,pch=pch,...)
})
You should define the groups parameter g beforehand, to specify for each
point whether it is "good" or "bad".

The subscripts argument can help again here.
df <- data.frame(x=rnorm(10),y=rnorm(10),p=1+rbinom(10,2,.6))
liney <- c(.5,.3,.1)
xyplot(y~x|p,
panel=function(x,y,subscripts,...) {
currentPanel = unique(df$p[subscripts])
cat(paste("Drawing panel",currentPanel,"\n"))
panel.superpose(x,y,subscripts=subscripts,...)
panel.abline(h=liney[currentPanel])
})
I've referred back to the original data frame, so that from the subscripts
argument I can work out which values of the panel variable I'm plotting.
(There is also a panel.number argument, but I don't like to use it,
because it's hard to remember how it relates to the value of the panel
variable.)

Something like
xyplot(jitter(y)~jitter(x))

I'd like to find this out, too.
