This may have something to do with the fact that MapServer does a
chdir() to the directory where the .map file lives... so if your 2 map
files live in different directories then that could explain what
happened.  There may also be other global things that I am not aware of.

BTW, your questions should be sent to the mapserver-users list... that's
what it's for.  You will also have more chances of getting the right
answers, and others will benefit from the answers too.
