I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting creating a function that
receives a layer, destroys the existing controls (if any), and creates
new ones  (configured with the passed layer). It's only 4 or 5
controls to destroy and create on each call to this function.

Alternatively, you can add a setLayer method to the modify feature
control. I'm not sure but the select feature control may have a
setLayer method already, that would probably help you.
