SELECT() will return the currently selected table area. And hence if there is already a table open in that area, it will be closed and the new one put in its place.

USE IN 0 will tell it to go into teh next available spot, not closing other open tables.

I believe that USE IN does not select the table afterwards, and you may be best doing
SELECT 0
USE gooddata ALIAS ...
