Seamus -

I do this by using the C preprocessor.  I create my template files using C #include statements and macros, and then run them through the C preprocessor to generate the output mapfile.

Subject: [mapserver-users] organiziing mapfile


Hi,

Is there a way to split a single map file into multiple map files?  This 
would help with organization and reusability of code because layers could 
be split into seperate files.  One layer file could then be used with 
multiple map files.  My map files are growing large and are becoming 
harder to manage.

Any thoughts on the subject?

Seamus
