I think that is the default behavior. If you do an itemnquery which 
returns 4 records, and your template has an [img] tag, you will get 4 
maps (images) - one for each record. The template is processed for each 
record found, but it does not require multiple calls to mapserver, or 
multiple round trips between the server and the browser.
