Non actually, I want the darker line behind the brighter one, just where these parts overlap

If you are talking about a gradient along a path, cutting and rearranging the paths may produce some undesired results and things can get pretty complicated.
I would probably just use a compound clipping path to do it. See sample Illustrator file below.
