[Mapserver-users] virtual layers befor map file layers

[Eric Bridger]

I'm not quite sure I understand. What prevents you from re-arragning the
the order of your Array?

Anyway, my approach is to not use $map->draw(), but $layer->draw() for
each of my layers. Then I have full control of the order and draw the
rasters first,dynamical points after.
