It is fine to set the isBaseLayer option to true and to have the 
transparent parameter set to "true" - assuming you want to request an 
image with transparency and have it as the base layer.  If you specify 
transparent: "true" in your parameters and *don't* specify isBaseLayer: 
true in your options, then the layer.isBaseLayer property will be set to 
false.  Otherwise, the options you specify will be respected.

That said, Eric's comment about four arguments is right on.  The 
MapServer layer constructor takes only four arguments - so the fifth one 
shown above is ignored.
