I think you're pretty close. Please try to format your question better, I took a quick shot because your question is difficult to read. The result will be more and better help from the community

${RADIO_XPATH}    //*[@id="${check_radio_xpath}"]
${CLASS}=    Selenium2Library.Get Element Attribute    ${check_radio_xpath}@class

This snippet works for me :

Get Line Numbers And Verify
    ${line_number1}=    Get Element Attribute   //*[@id="file-keywords-txt-L1"] data-line-number
    Log To Console  ${line_number1}
    ${line_number2}=    Get Element Attribute   //*[@id="file-keywords-txt-L2"] data-line-number
    Log To Console  ${line_number2}
    Verify in order of ${line_number1} and ${line_number2} is true

What was important is that the spaces/tabs between the keywords are correct, otherwise it does not get recognised as a so called keyword.

You can use both XPath and CSS selector if you have selenium library

${title}=  Get Element Attribute  ${xpath}    attribute=title
