If you have multiple permanent negative levels and are treated by a Restoration spell it says: "If this spell is used to dispel a permanent negative level, it has a material component of diamond dust worth 1,000 gp. This spell cannot be used to dispel more than one permanent negative level possessed by a target in a 1-week period."
I read "THIS SPELL" to mean that two different casters of the spell in the same week cannot reduce more than 1 PNL because they are using the same spell to do so. But what about a caster who used Restoration and another caster (or the same one for that matter) who uses Greater Restoration on a subject within a week of the Restoration? Does the higher level version of the spell work, because it is not specifically Restoration, or are they the same family of spells -- "this spell works like Lesser Restoration except..." -- and thus the week must pass before the Greater version of it can work?
A greater restoration has no removal limit, so any time you cast greater restoration will always remove all remaining negative levels.

Restoration, Greater
This spell functions like lesser restoration, except that it dispels all permanent and temporary negative levels afflicting the healed creature.
It refers to Lesser Restoration, not restoration, so it doesn't share Restoration limit. You can use it to restore permanent levels on a subject that has received Restoration in the same week.
Note that even Restoration can be used multiple times in a week on the same subject, the only limit it to its ability to dispel permanent negative levels.
