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.

Subject: [mapserver-users] multiple layers in a class

Hi,

In the STYLE documentation, it is mentioned that it is possible to have 
multiple layers within a class. 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
