CLASS GROUPs are mapped to named WMS STYLES by MapServer:

http://mapserver.org/ogc/sld.html#named-styles-support

I didn't test this, but since GetFeatureInfo is really a complete GetMap 
plus a few extra parameters specific to GetFeatureInfo, it should be 
possible to set the GetMap STYLES=... parameter in the GetFeatureInfo 
URL and have it select only the right group of classes for the layer(s) 
for which a style is specified.

(MapServer also has a STYLE block inside CLASSes, but don't let that 
confuse you. The WMS STYLEs are really mapped to CLASS GROUPs.)
