Hi Bart: No, there are no plans to do so. I'm not sure it's worth the effort since at some level you have to differentiate between feature types to symbolize them, and a layer seems a reasonable place to do that. Many of the newer client development environments (and even MapServer HTML legends) allow you to take advantage of MapServer groups and there's no limitation there on mixing layer types within a group. So it should be easy to have a checkbox or radio button to toggle multiple layers with different types.

We have a lot of datasets in which there are points, lines and polygons, and now they all have to be treated as separate layers which is very confusing for users.
