Jon:
As a general rule the imputation model should use the same or less assumptions/restrictions as
your analysis model. So the question is: what was the imputation model you fed into -ice-, in your
case I would pay particular attention to wether the assumptions concerning the nesting structure
in your imputation model are more restrictive that those in your analysis model
