I am using Land Desktop 3 and trying to use layouts to set up multiple views of my model space plan. When in a Layout view I type MSPACE and click in a viewport that viewport does an automatic ZOOM EXTENTS. When I try to restore a named view in a viewport it also does a ZOOM EXTENTS.
I know there must be some setting that controls this but I have not been able to find it in the help system. REGENAUTO on or off ha no effect.

Have you tried the AutoCAD variable 'ucsfollow'? If it is set to 0 you should not have a problem, but if it is set to 1, the view will automatically change to a plan view in the current UCS. Also a little trick, if you have AutoCAD 2000 or later, you should be able to double click inside the desired viewport to work with your model space instead of typing mspace.
 
Thanks! UCSFOLLOW was the key!
