for calling a single geotiff should I call it directly or reference a shape file

A tileindex for a single image wouldn't make any sense. The point of the
tileindex is to tell Mapserver which raster(s) to open for a given spatial
extent. If you only have one, it won't help any but would add an extra
feew steps of processing.
