I do something like the second example in one of my applications.  I send the comma-delimited string for use as part of the IN statement.  

This basically allows you to symbolize features from your spatial data set based on data passed in through the URL.  

I pass these URL vars:
&group1=129,119,041,005,159,051,011,147,097,015,067,171,081,063,025,093,009,149,079,049,065,003,143,027,039,007,099,121,151,135,107,047,033,031,023,089,001,013,161,109,139,061,055,101,045,127,113,117,167,085,133,073,071,157,105,083,165,077,111,059,115,019,153,125,169,087,043,145,017,131,021,173,035,095,091,155,057,103,075,029,069&group2=137,163,037,141,123&group3=&group4=053

Here is the layer definition:

LAYER
  NAME "airdata"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  DATA 'county_thin'
  TYPE POLYGON
  TEMPLATE "templates/emiss_imap_template.html"

  VALIDATION
     group1 "^[0-9\,]+$"
     group2 "^[0-9\,]+$"
     group3 "^[0-9\,]+$"
     group4 "^[0-9\,]+$"
  END
  CLASS
     NAME "group1"
           EXPRESSION ('[county_fip]' IN '%group1%')
	   STYLE
	       COLOR 241 238 246
	   END
  END
  CLASS
     NAME "group2"
           EXPRESSION ('[county_fip]' IN '%group2%')
	   STYLE
	       COLOR 189 201 225
	   END
  END
  CLASS
     NAME "group3"
           EXPRESSION ('[county_fip]' IN '%group3%')
	   STYLE
	       COLOR 116 169 207
	   END
  END
  CLASS
     NAME "group4"
           EXPRESSION ('[county_fip]' IN '%group4%')
	   STYLE
	       COLOR 5 112 176
	   END
  END

END

Typically the SQL syntax is   column in (a,b,c,d)
So based on this

[id_bassin] in '%ID_BASSIN%'

would be problematic I think because your syntax is:

column in 'string'

Which is not valid. Also what is your validation for %ID_BASSIN%?
Is something like this?   ^\([0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*\)$

where ID_BASSIN=(123,234,345)

or do you want something like:

[id_bassin] in (%ID_BASSIN%)

with a valdiation like:  ^[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*$

where ID_BASSIN=123,234,345
