Clear both and position relative

[toplisek]

I like to test clear both and effects.

div1(Floated Left)
------------------
<div style="clear: both;"><!--This <div> as a separator--></div>
----------------------------------
Other div renders here now

This will bring second DIV into bottom position under DIV1.

What will happen if all this DIV's are inside one DIV with relative position.
border: 0 none;
position: relative;
top: 0;

Can all float elements influence main div position which should have CLEAR BOTH?
#div2 {
clear: both;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
or it is correct to place position: absolute; and not clear: both; to place DIV element regardless of other DIV's?

Sample:

<DIV><!--This <div> acts as a relative position-->

div1(Floated Left)
div3(Floated Right)
------------------
<div style="clear: both;"><!--This <div2> acts as a separator--></div>

</DIV>
----------------------------------
Other div renders here now

I do not find relative positioning is useful at all. I'd suggest either the default (static) or absolute positioning are the most useful.
