Operational Layers or Base Maps?

jameshawks

All I want are my three services and a map switcher. I don't want fires, streets, topo, aerial etc. There's plenty of other places to get that besides my future site. Should I make my three services (all three are dynamic and the same projection and extent) base maps or operational layers?

Just one service on at a time (its three different scale bands).

I tried three base map services and now I can't see any of my services/data and now. Here is config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
