That's a really easy solution! I will implement your solution.

Just for curiousity: i saw that mapscript allows me to create a layer with 
the ms_newLayerObj() function. When using this function to create a layer, 
will there be a performance hit? Or is creating a layer with mapscript just 
as efficient as a layer in a .map file.

Thanks!
Twan
