Nina, I guess that your data was more complex than I originally assumed.
Would it be possible to create one layer with classes that incorporated both the scale and magnitude? Something like: LAYER CLASS # low-res, low magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 10000000 MINSCALEDENOM 4000000 EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3 AND [mag] < 3.499) END CLASS # low-res, high magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 10000000 MINSCALEDENOM 4000000 EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3.5 AND [mag] < 3.999) END CLASS # medium-res, low magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 4000000 MINSCALEDENOM 1000000 EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3 AND [mag] < 3.499) END CLASS # medium-res, high magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 4000000 MINSCALEDENOM 1000000 EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3.5 AND [mag] < 3.999) END CLASS # high-res, low magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 1000000 EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3 AND [mag] < 3.499) END CLASS # high-res, high magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 1000000 EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3.5 AND [mag] < 3.999) END I haven't thought too much about it, so I can't promise that it will do what you need.

I already use scale-dependent layers. That's why I believe I can't organize my "data as scale-dependent classes within one layer instead of as various separate layers in a group" . But I'm not sure - so please have a look at my data structure below (or in the attached file - part of my mapfile): I have got a WMS displaying earthquake data for the last 12 month (GROUP A), last month (GROUP B), the last 7 days (GROUP C) and the actual (latest) earthquake (GROUP D). Each group has got a couple of scale-dependent layers (A_a, A_b, A_c; B_a, B_b ...). I've grouped the layers because all layers displaying earthquake events from e.g. the last 12 month should appear as just one layer. Each layer has got several magnitude-dependent classes, as the earthquake dots should increase when zooming into the application. LAYER NAME "A_a" GROUP "A" MAXSCALE 10000000 MINSCALE 4000000 ... CLASS NAME "Magnitude > 3 - 3.499" EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3 AND [mag] < 3.499) STYLE SYMBOL "circle" SIZE 9 COLOR 255 165 0 OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0 END END CLASS NAME "Magnitude > 3.5 - 3.999" EXPRESSION ([mag] > 3.5 AND [mag] < 3.999) STYLE SYMBOL "circle" SIZE 10 COLOR 255 165 0 OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0 END END ... LAYER NAME "A_b" GROUP "A" MAXSCALE 4000000 MINSCALE 1000000 ... CLASS ... END ... LAYER NAME "A_c" GROUP "A" MAXSCALE 1000000 MINSCALE ... ... CLASS ... END ... Thanks in advance!
