Bug 73722 [Perspectives] [ViewMgmt] No API for adding multiple instances of the same view in IPageLayout
Reported: 2004-09-11 10:49:20 | Status: verified fixed

It isn't currently possible to add multiple instances of the same view to a perspective through IPageLayout. Because of this you cannot create a perspective with multiple instances of the same view in its default layout.
