I found this to be true. I typed Dvorak for a few years while in University, but switched back to QWERTY when I entered the workforce. I was pleasantly surprised that the increased speed and comfort I had attributed to Dvorak was maintained when I went back to QWERTY. It may have been less efficient than putting the same time I to traditional typing training would have been, but it definitely did increase my general skills as a typist to practice a new layout "from scratch".

Then I re-trained with http://bepo.fr http://bepo.fr I got a smaller, but noticeable additional comfort. My conclusion is that touch typing is more important than layout. Layout is icing on the cake. Not essential for me, but damn useful.
