This design is a simple one between one within split-plot with a  
covariate. If we ignore the covariate, the ANOVA design would be,  
from http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/faq/xtmixed.htm:

/* spf-2.4    subjects nested in a */
/* between subjects: a             */
/* within  subjects: b             */

use http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/examples/kirk/spf2-4, clear

/* anova code: */ anova y a / s|a b a*b /, repeated(b)

xi3 e.a*e.b

xtmixed y _Ia_2 _Ib_2 _Ib_3 _Ib_4 _Ia2Xb2 _Ia2Xb3 _Ia2Xb4 || s:

test _Ia_2

test _Ib_2 _Ib_3 _Ib_4

/* scale chi^2 as F-ratio to compare with anova */
display r(chi2)/r(df)

test _Ia2Xb2 _Ia2Xb3 _Ia2Xb4

display r(chi2)/r(df)
