Luca, I had already similar problems with raster layers like satellite images and another layer like slopes, dem etc. It could also be vector layers if they are not transparent.
I'm currently re-writing the part for the legend and layer display. One simplistic solution for that is to define layers that should mutually be disabled. This can be done by using radio buttons for them instead of checkboxes. There are maybe slight problems with regard to aesthetics and consistency. First the radio buttons align different on Firefox that the checkboxes. And also it might be confusing for users if you mix them. But nevertheless, one can think about to use it. I attached 2 screenshots that show how it looks like. If you group the raster layers together it might look acceptable. I will have to do some more testing. The PHP part is mainly finished, just some Javascript that needs some fine-tuning. Then I will make a development snapshot available for testing and hopefully it will go soon into final releases.
