Hi,

you may have a look at lag.listw in the package 'spdep' by R Bivand, 
which computes a lag vector given a variable and a list of spatial 
weights. There is a nice review of spatial methods in ecology, already 
mentioned on this list I think:

Carsten F. Dormann, Jana M. McPherson, Miguel B. Araújo, Roger Bivand, 
Janine Bolliger, Gudrun Carl, Richard G. Davies, Alexandre Hirzel, 
Walter Jetz, W. Daniel Kissling, Ingolf Kühn, Ralf Ohlemüller, Pedro R. 
Peres-Neto, Björn Reineking, Boris Schröder, Frank M. Schurr and Robert 
Wilson,. (2007) Methods to account for spatial autocorrelation in the 
analysis of species distributional data: a review. /Ecography/ 30:5, 609–628

This may be a good starting point.

Cheers,

Thibaut.
