I am now loading the layers in groups instead of individually.
First I am loading the base layer followed by 4 groups of layers, first
group contains 2 while others contain 3 each.

But the problem now is that at PageLoad for the first time the layers of
group1 are not visible because it is getting overlapped by the other layers.
The other layers are also not visible bec' they are mandated to be visible
at higher zoomin levels because of max/min scaledom.

Now if I load the group1 layers last then not only is it visible at initial
zoom level but also at higher zoom levels bec' in that case it is
overlapping the other layers mandated to be visible at that level.

So how to tackle the problem.
Tricky, isn't it?

Sometimes it helps to use different mapfiles for different zoom levels. There is a way to automatically switch to a different mapfile when the current one goes beyond its maximum or minimum scale, but I don't remember how to do that just now. Hmm.... and I can't find it in the docs either. Probably because I forget what it's called. It was useful for even doing projection changes as the map became more local. I believe it's one of the MAX/MIN commands.

I also found that some effects that I wanted couldn't be done exactly the way I wanted, but there was always a way to reorganize and set things up to get what I needed.
