See the cartoon:



1) There are colored random objects on a grey-black background. The colored objects are grouped for easy selection and all background objects are another group.

2) Add the clipping mask on the top of all

3) Select the clipping mask and all objects you want to be clipped. Be sure not to select anything you want to keep out of the clipping process. The outsiders can be anywhere, even at the clipping area. They survive if they are not selected.

4) Goto Object > Clipping Mask > Make.
