Stata is replacing each graph sequentially since by default graphs are
named "Graph". Look at the following example:
/* Example #1 BEGIN */
sysuse uslifeexp2, clear
scatter le year
scatter le year, connect(l)
/* Example #1 END */
While two graphs will be created only one will remain after the
program concludes and it will be called "Graph". The next example
uses the "name" option (see "help name_option" for more information)
to produce two plots.
/* Example #2 BEGIN */
sysuse uslifeexp2, clear
scatter le year, name(graph1, replace)
scatter le year, name(graph2, replace) connect(l)
/* Example #2 BEGIN */
Best,
