problems using a cascaded layer - wms_name parameter

[Nuno GIL]

Thank you once more Bart!

Well, the actual name of the layer on the remote WMS is
"/landmap/mosaics/landsat/l5mosaic.ecw".
After reading the bug report, I have the impression that this nesting
capability is only valid and accessed inside the "wms_layer_group"
keyword. Am I wrong?

Regards,
Nuno
