I haven't looked at -mim- yet, but statistically there
shouldn't be a problem. The formulas that must be used to
combine datasets doesn't depend on the algorithm used to
create the imputations. As long as the imputations are
independent draws from the posterior predictive
distributions (distribution of plausible values for the
missing cases) you are fine.
Hope this helps,
