It is definitely possible to combine local data and WMS layers in a
single mapfile.  We do that a lot.

About the error you get, the only reason I can see that would explain it
would be if your mapfile contained an empty SHAPEPATH value, e.g.:

  SHAPEPATH ""

If that's the case, then you should either set SHAPEPATH to a valid
value or not set it at all.
