Yes, the syntax is that and I apologize that I wrote my examples with commas.  
You can also use the new "A map with two layers" tutorial example from 
http://gislars.github.io/mapserver_docs/tutorial/ with Naturalearth data 
http://naciscdn.org/naturalearth/10m/physical/ne_10m_ocean.zip
http://naciscdn.org/naturalearth/110m/physical/ne_110m_land.zip

With MS4W this command gives desired result:
C:\ms4w\apps>shp2img -m two_layers.map -l "ocean land" -o foo.png

However, I tried the same with some of our existing mapfiles with Mapserver 
7.0.0 on Linux and I do really get only the first layer at least with some 
layer combinations (tileindex raster and spatialite vector layer). I should 
investigate this a bit further but there may be something strange in it.

I did take care of using png format explicitly with -I png and I was also 
changing the order of layers and I am pretty sure that I do not render 
non-transparent jpeg over the other layer as I thought first.

Hi Nino,

Sorry for this confusion.  I did some local testing and Steve's syntax is 
correct.  I've also taken the time now to update the shp2img doc with more 
working examples for single and multiple layers, and committed those changes.  
Thanks for pointing this out.
