Remarks
The Map object's implementation of Clear deletes all of the Layers in the Map (IMap::ClearLayers ), removes all MapSurrounds (IMap::ClearSurrounds ), removes all bookmarks (IMapBookMarks::RemoveAllBookMarks), and resets the extent stack. Clear does not refresh the active view however.
Clear on PageLayout deletes all Elements, including MapFrames which hold a Map, resets the extent stack, and a new Map is created - there must always be a focus map.
