Hi Claudio,
A Surface and a Brep (or Bounding Representation) or two different things. Usually a Brep consists of multiple surfaces joined together into a polysurface, Because there are so many denominators for a polysurface, Brep is used to include them all (open surface, closed surface, open polysurface, closed polysurface, trimmed surface, untrimmed surface, etc.). You can link in all that into a Brep component (including a surface), but not vice-versa, you can only link in a surface (trimmed, untrimmed, open or closed) into a surface component.
Best,
Arie
