Dear Gindo,

Jeroen mentioned runmlwin, a new command we have written for running 
multilevel models in MLwiN from within Stata.

I see that you are a UK based academic. This means that you can download 
the full working version of MLwiN for free (thanks to the ESRC). (Non-UK 
academics can play around with a 30-day free version of MLwiN.)

There are lots of examples of fitting cross-classified models in MLwiN, 
via runmlwin, both by maximum likelihood (e.g. like xtmixed) and by 
MCMC. Note that MCMC is recommended for large cross-classified models in 
MLwiN.

Best wishes

George
