Hi.

You can use mapscript to generate maps without having a mapfile I think. 
I don't use that but I use some kind of template mapfile where I only 
included some Parameters I often use and then add new layers, classes, 
styles ... .

Remember to use ms_new ... Obj(next higher object) for example 
ms_newLayerObj(mapobj).

Then you can use save and load method from the mapobject to save/load 
your new map. With this you don't have to do much if you call the script 
a second time.
