st: xtivreg2 with lagged variables

Dear statalist,
I'm running on Stata 12 some IV regressions using xtivreg2 on panel
data and I am wondering whether it is possible to avoid the varlist1
variables to be employed into the first stage.
If I use
xtivreg2 depvar married age age2 (L.endog_var = L.instrument1 L.instrument2), fe
I get
First stage: L.endog_var on L.instrument1 L.instrument2 married age age2
Second stage: depvar on L.instrumented_var married age age2
but for me it is pointless to have - married age age2 - in the first
stage while predicting a variable that is one period back in time. I
wuold like to have - L.married L.age L.age2 - to be coherent with
L.endog_var.
The second stage instead is correct as it is since the endogenous
variable shall be lagged in time with respect to the depvar.
I tried to run
xtivreg2 depvar married age age2 (L.endog_var = L.instrument1
L.instrument2 L.married L.age L.age2), fe
what comes out is that the second stage is the same as before, while
the first stage becomes:
L.endog_var on L.instrument1 L.instrument2 married age age2 L.married
L.age L.age2
and unfortunately is not what I need.
What can I do to reach my goal?
Best regards,
Giacomo Pallaro
