Thank you David,
Yes, using INCLUDE should be a good solution. But as I know in MapServer 5.6, CONNECTION is a parameter of my LAYER objects, and not an object itself. So I cannot have a CONNECTION object declared in a separate map file And I prefer to not have to duplicate the layers in different map files.

This wouldnt give you the flexibility of changing it through the CGI interface, but would allow you to use the same exact mapfile on both machines. David.

One for Production use, and the other for Validation use. The MAP files placed on those servers are similar except that each server has a different Oracle database as datasource. For now, I have some different CONNECTION values depending if the map file is on the Production or on the Validation server. So finally I must have different MAP files. Is there a way to have exactly the same map files on the 2 servers, and to use a variable to parameterize the CONNECTION. For example, I would like to set the CONNECTION of my layers to %ORACLECONNECTIONSTRING% and to set a CGI Environment variable named ORACLECONNECTIONSTRING to the correct value on each server.
