Sorry I missed an important point:
The tolerance in the mapfile depends on the definition of the 
toleranceunits. If toleranceunits is not set then it is in pixel.
If you use a tolerance in the querybypoint function <= 0 then mapscript 
uses the value set in the mapfile.
In the other case (tolerance > 0) the tolerance in the querybypoint 
function have to be in georeferenced map coordinates.

And yes, I think it is the definition of the radius for a buffer around 
the pointObj where you make a click.

Norbert
