Hello All,

I'm finding a difference between the image produced by shp2img and a WMS GetMap 
request.  The image produced by shp2img looks as I expect honoring the order in 
which LAYERS are defined in the map file and the STATUS value.  However, the 
WMS request does not seem to respect the order of the LAYERs, always drawing 
the polygons first regardless of the order defined in the map file or that of 
the WMS LAYERS request parameter.  

Here's a representative WMS request:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/basicworld?request=getmap&service=wms&width=500&height=250&bbox=-180,-90,180,90&srs=EPSG:4326&version=1.1.1&layers=countries&format=png

Both the cities and countries layers display as you'd expect, but the countries 
draw on top of the cities contrary to what I'd expect and different that in the 
shp2img output. 

I'm using mapserver version 6.0.1 and I've tried various versions of WMS.  Can 
someone please examine the map file below and point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
