[Mapserver-users] Reading in Projections from layer data files

Seems projections are the topic of the day.  It got me wondering, when 
does (or does not) MapServer read and use projection info from the source 
data files?  I.e. if I have my MAP projection set in the map file, and I 
have a shape file with a prj (or tiff with tfw) - do I need to add a 
PROJECTION section to my LAYER or not?  I guess, basically, I'm wondering 
does mapserver ever reproject without layer projections being explicitly 
defined?
