For the floor I think a sandwich would give the most isolation from ground cold coming up through the floor.
Since the gravel is down you might want a layer of sand for protection of the insulation board.
The layers would be: 1 gravel, 2 sand, 3 vapor barrier (visquene), 4 insulation board, 5 subfloor bags, 6 insulation board, 7 floor surface.
The vapor barrier would need to come up the foundation inner wall surface to prevent any capillary action I would think.
Unless you want to have a step down for the addition, you will need to build up the foundation so the floors are level with the yurt floor.
If you are going for level floor, you probably could just lay the first 4 layers then build a raised floor with lots of insulation under it (between and under the floor joists).
