On any layer which is a child of Layer.HTTPRequest, you can use
layervar.mergeNewParams({'version':Math.random()}) to add a randomized
parameter to the layer request. This should request all the tiles, which
should have the result of visibly 'refreshing' the layer.

If this is not the affect you are seeking, please respond more clearly
with what behavior you are looking for.
