They were added manually. If what you are saying were the case, wouldn't there be a warning about duplicate names?


I'm not sure what you're referring to.  What I said was just about what Layer names are displayed in the different ways of seeing a listing of Layers -- they could have the same Layers, but just have different combinations of them showing in display.  [Or was this really in reply to someone else?]

 

But in any case, in the Layer Properties Manager dialog box, yes, you would get scolded for trying to create a new Layer with the little New Layer icon using the name of an existing one.  But in a command-line -LAYER command, if you use the New option to create a new Layer, and give it the name of an existing one, a message goes by:

Layer "{whatever}" already exists.

but the command is not bothered by it -- it just goes back to the regular options prompt and carries on, so it would be easy not to notice.  If you use the Make option to both create a new Layer and set it current in the process [something that it appears you can't do in the Layer Properties Manager in one step], and give it the name of an existing one, you don't even get that message -- it just does the set-it-current part of Making, and carries on.
