You know - I think you're back to your original problem. You need to know when your time remapped layer got depositied at it's position and I don't think there's a straight forward way to calculate it. The only way I can think of to do it is to loop back through time to find out how long it's been in position. I think it would look something like this:

t = thisComp.layer("template");
travel = t.effect("travel")("Slider")/100;

offset = 0;
while(t.effect("travel")("Slider").valueAtTime(time - offset)/100 > index/(thisComp.numLayers - 1)){
offset += thisComp.frameDuration;
}
offset


I haven't tried it, but it should be close.
