Hello Mortiz,
your reply helped me much. Removing/Reassigning layers is a matter of
several steps :
-drop previous layer definition, optionally drop related table;

Please note: as MarkusM has already mentioned, you cannot drop a "layer definition". You can drop the definition of a connection of a given layer in a vector map to an attribute table. Whether or not a given layer "exists" only depends on whether there are category values defined for that layer for at least one feature in the map.

Have you read "Vector object categories and attribute management" -> "layers" on [1]. If not please do so and tell us if we can improve the explanation.

-delete unused layer categories;

This is probably the closest you can get to "deleting a layer".

-change remaining categories layer assignment (it is the step I
misunderstood till then );
-define new layer.

This operation is perhaps not so "exotic" considering the wxGUI update
attribute issue.

Which version of GRASS are you working in ?

GRASS version:
6.4.3svn
GRASS SVN Revision:
55280

Then you should at least be able to query vector maps with several layers and get a result in the command console. You do not get the update dialog, though. Something to be worked on for grass7 I think.
