You could probably achieve what you want by splitting all your mapfiles 
in two parts and using the include directive.

For each mapfile you'd have a "mymap_main.map" that would contain 
everything except the layer definitions, and a "mymap_layers.include" 
that contains all layer definitions for that map. The mymap_main.map 
would be the main entry point for that specific map and would use 
"include 'mymap_layers.include'" to refer to the layer definitions.

Then for your WMS service, you'd create a "my_wms.map" that contains the 
general mapfile info (map name, extents, web object, etc.) and then 
includes all the "*_layers.include" files.
