issue with classitem and tileindex...

[Peter Shrock]

My layer setup is like this, but I got the same error message
(msDBFGetItemIndex(): DBASE file error. Item 'DATETIME' not found).

In my case, when I used point shapefile, it worked. In point shapefile, the
wms_timeitem field and the classitem are both in the point shapefile. But if we
use tile index file, the wms_timeitem field is in the tile index shapefile, but
the classitem field is in the data shapefile. I guess this is why mapserver
shows the error message.

This may mean that mapserver design only supports point shapefile (WMS-timeitem
and classitem are both in the data shapefile) and raster tile (TYEP RASTER) ,
not good for polygon shapefiles with seperate tile index.
Is this the case?
