Hi, in recent mapserver version you can use the INCLUDE statement to do exactly what you want.

Hi, I have an application with about 25 different map files. Each map file covers a different topic. But I also have some topographic features like border lines or water bodies that the user can overlay if wanted. The topographic features are static ones, they have been stored in a PostgreSQL database. For now, the layers of these topographic features are in each of the map files, so I have 25 map files which all contain the same topographic layers. Would it be possible to create only one map file with all the topography and include this map file into the other map files? I am running a cgi application. Thanks for ideas, Carola
