Florencia,

If you have a lot of tiff files on the disk, there are two ways to work 
with them if you want them to appear as a single layer:

1. create a tileindex for rasters use gdaltindex command
    then in mapserver reference this with the TILEINDEX in the LAYER
2. create a vrt file the includes all your rasters with gdalbuildvrt
    This you can reference in the DATA "myvrtfile.vrt"
