Brent,

Reprojection of input rasters and vectors is supported by MapServer and
mapscript applications using PROJ.4, assuming it is configured in.  This
has long been the case.

MapServer and MapScript support accessing remote WMS layers as an input
as long as WMS client support is built in, and has for some time.

If you are having problems with the WMS client support from Java MapScript
the issue might *possibly* be related to the kind of multithreading used
for processing several WMS requests at once.  This is done down in libcurl
I think so I don't know the details.
