I'd like to change Z-order of selected EditPart and show it on top of others
EditParts, but do not know how to do it ;( need help.

This question has been asked often in the newsgroup. To repeat, z-order
is determined by the order in which the child models of the root
EditPart are processed. So what you need to do is, upon selection, find
the model instance of the selected EditPart and make sure that it comes
first in getModelChildren() call on the parent (I assume the root) EditPart.

For more informative discussions, search the newsgroup with "z-order" or
"bring to front"

It's true only for children of root EditPart, but ConnectionEditPart z-order
is not clear for me. I have following example: editpart1 is over editpart2,
but connections of editpart2 is over connections of editpart1. How it can
be?

That's because connections are stored in another layer (e.g. another group
of edit parts), with its own Z-ordering.
