Complex Features are not really supported. You could perhaps have some success 
for GetFeature output by using template-driven output : 
http://mapserver.org/output/template_output.html . But I haven't tried myself 
and I guess that would only work for not too complex features. And 
DescribeFeatureType would produce only a schema for simple features.
