Mukesh, If you want to symbolize SMALL PIG and BIG PIG differently, you will need two classes. A class is used to select features that match the (optional) class expression.
You can have multiple styles within a class, but they would be applied equally to all of the features in that class. One example might be stacking symbols for a feature. The docs don’t say that you can have multiple ‘layers’ within a class, but that you can have multiple ‘styles’ applied within a class. http://mapserver.org/mapfile/style.html In your description below, you are conceptually talking about having different classes within a layer, but just using different words. Is there a reason that you have an aversion to using multiple classes? You can group classes if there is a need for it. http://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html David.

I could not find any example how it can be implemented. I was checking an example in http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2010-August/066303.html where "SMALL PIG" and "BIG PIG" are in two different classes. However I am wondering if it is possible to implement it within a same class but representing with different styles. It means representing two different "PIG" in a same class but with different coloring mechanisms. Thanks, Mukesh
