As general rule
the return path current, in high frequency,  will follow the path with
minimum inductance

Taking in to account the so-called proximity effect
( the return current will try to stay close to direct path)
you can easily understand where the current should be.

In practice you also must consider that the planes could not be so clean
and resonance between plane could allow signal to be coupled
out of your control

Hope this help
Giancarlo

Hi
I have a question.If we have stacking sequence given below.Return path =
can
be VCC plane (provided it's not broken) or Gnd plane.

TOP
GND1
LAYER3
LAYER4
VCC
LAYER6
GND2
BOT

If Layer 3 takes GND1 as return path, What will be return path for Layer =
4 &
Layer 6. Why?
Can anyone explain the theory / mechanism.
Thanks
