Diana,
Yes, you may have to roll up your sleeves for this one, as I don't think it is automated in Stata, or any other program:
Jensen, A. R., & Weng, L. (1994). What is a good g? Intelligence, 18, 231-258.
Nelson, J.M., Canivez, G.L., Lindstrom, W., & Hatt, C.V. (2007). Higher-order exploratory factor analysis of the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales with a referred sample. Journal of School Psychology, 45(4), 439-456.

You could always extract the factor correlation matrix from an oblique rotation and work with the Schmid-Leiman transformations yourself.

I believe there are some examples of this in the PROC CALIS documentation in SAS/Stat, for instance.... Just checked. It's a replicated example of some data from Thurstone from R. P. McDonald (1985), Factor Analysis and Related Methods, LEA, , p.57, p.105.
