No mapscript, just CGI Mapserver.  Data sources are shape files.

Are you using Mapscript?  What is the datastore--shapefile, database,
other?

There are lots of ways to do this, depending on how your app is
structured.

Due
to reasons I won't go into here, we sometimes have multiple points
stacked on top of each other.  They are essentially the same feature,
but with some slightly different attributes to each record.  Is there
a
way that I can filter this, so that only the first feature found is
returned in the query?
