In the first section of this paper the authors prove a general result concerning Clarke's normal cone to the intersection of a collection of sets in a Banach space. As a consequence, in the second section it is solved a problem raised by \textit{A. S. Lewis} and \textit{R. E. Lucchetti} [SIAM J. Control Optimization 38, No. 2, 613-626 (2000; Zbl 0951.49023)] on Clarke's generalized subdifferentials of comparable locally Lipschitz functions (so-called ``squeeze theorem''). This problem was studied also by \textit{J. M. Borwein} and \textit{S. Fitzpatrick} [``Duality inequalities and sandwiched functions'', preprint, Simon Fraser University at Burnaby, Canada (1998)]. In the third part of the article it is presented a variant result in terms of generalized subdifferentials in the sense of Michel-Penot. At the end it is proved a theorem related to the Clarke generalized Jacobian set. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0954.00025].
