st: GLLAMM selection model with endogenous regressor

["Marcello Morciano (MED)" <M.Morciano@uea.ac.uk>]

Dear Statalisters,
 
I would like use GLLAMM for estimating a Heckman model (heckprob) with an endogenous covariate in the selection equation. I am still trying to understand the "language" of Gllamm to which I'm not used to.
Thanks to Sophia and Alfonso's paper (http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0107 ) I am able to reproduce results of a heckprob model with GLLAMM. Thanks to Sophia and Xiaohui's paper (http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0129 ) I am able to implement a MIMIC model with GLAMM.
I wondering whether I can combine these 2 pieces in a Full information maximum likelihood, instead of applying the Murphy-Topel estimator required in adopting a limited information maximum likelihood, two-step procedure for estimating the following model (in GLLAMM language):
  
*** MIMIC model
eq load: d1-d7
eq f1:  female age dhs2 dhs3 dhs4 dhs5
#delimit ;
gllamm score d2-d7, i(idauniq) eqs(load) geqs(f1)  link(logit) family(binom) pweight(wt)  adapt nip(30) iterate(100) difficult #delimit cr
 
where d1-d7 are binary indicators of the latent construct EndVAR_d, and f1 is the vector of covariates for which the conditional mean of EndVAR_d is assumed to vary (the first factor is constrained to unity for identification).
 
*** SELECTION MODEL
eq fac: end cv
constraint def 1 [id1_1]end=1
eq load: d1-d7
 
#delimit ;
gllamm resp  Ewalk_c Esit_c age_c female_c cons_c EndVAR_d female_d dhs2_d dhs3_d dhs4_d dhs5_d age_d cons_d, i(id)  weightf(wt)
constr(1) from(startv) long family(binom binom) nr(2,1) link(probit probit) fv(vartype) lv(vartype) nocons
eq(fac) adapt nip(16)      copy;
#delimit cr
 
Where *_c variables are covariates in the main model; *_d are covariates in the selection model (EndVAR_d included).
 
Is there a way to do so? How data should be organized, given the fact that to fit a model in GLLAMM, all responses must be stacked in one variable? How the model should be specified in GLLAMM?
 
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
