Sounds like it to me, but you may want to think carefully about just how
many levels you really need and how many can be soaked up in "robust"
standard errors.

Well first I'd suggest getting the new edition of the Stata Press book
by Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal, Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling Using
Stata. I haven't had a chance to go through it in any detail yet but I
believe you'll find much of use there.
http://www.gllamm.org might have some useful examples there. I believe
that Rabe-Hesketh and her collaborators have written on multilevel
models and complex survey designs.
