Part of the confusion may be due to a misunderstanding what
it means in "Stata-speak" when we say "specify the xyz option"

Concrete example: I could say "if you specify the -detail- 
option in -summarize- you will get a more detailed summary of 
your variable."

It means that in Stata you need to type:

sum foo bar, detail

instead of:

sum foo bar

(foo and bar are variable names)

Things get a bit more comples with prefix commands like -mim-.
Now you have basically two commans: in your case -mim- and
-gllamm-, so you need to know to which command you need to
add the option. The error message is issued by -mim-, so you
need to specify the option at the -mim- command:

mim , cat(fit): gllamm ...

Hope this helps,
