[mapserver-users] Using OSM with our own data

Hi everybody.

After quite a long time I am back using mapserver. Seeing how well it is 
cabable of rendering OSM data I would like to use it as a background for 
the geographical information I would like to display. I followed the 
nice howto and now my new Mapserver setup is ready to display a local 
stored portion of Openstreetmap OR my own data, not both :-)

The problem, as far as I know,  is that I cannot successfully merge the 
mapfile I created for my data and the one automatically generated by the 
mapserver-utils mapfile generator; if I try to paste the LAYER part 
containing my data, it is apparently ignored (and not even wrongly 
projected, as far as I can see). Is there any caveat I can be aware of 
or, better, is there some other doc explaining the use of OSM data with 
other layers?

Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor English

Nico
