[mapserver-users] include files

[Richard Greenwood]

Hi Listers,

This is sort of a feature suggestion, but I wanted to see if anyone else 
saw any value in this. I think the map file could really benefit from the 
ability to have include files. A couple cases where I think this would be 
useful would be:
1. Moving a map file between various servers that have different SHAPEPATH, 
SYMBOLSET, IMAGEPATH, IMAGEURL, ets.
2. Layer that you use in multiple map files.

Is there a work around that I am not aware of? I've seen the JavaScript 
includes in template files, but then that has to get passed to mapserver in 
the URL with each submit, which seem rather inelegant.
