No worries.

Thinking about it further still, and in this case using only those two tools, there is really no need to copy any layer at all.

Create a new layer, and for the 'Spot Heal' set 'Sample All Layers' to ON.

Do your funky stuff.

Then when you start to 'Clone' do the same...new layer, set Sample, and clone.

You can swap and change between the two tools BUT....and its a BIG BUT...create a new layer EACH time you change tools...

This way you will ALWAYS be sampling EVERYTHING you have done to that point.

IF you need to flatten the layers then use Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E to flatten the visible layers to a single new layer. From here you can still tweak stuff if you missed something minor, but you also still have the original layers if you find a big huge boo-boo.
