lme nesting/interaction advice

	It doesn't seem to me to be a complaint as such.  It is a
	request for insight.  I too would like some insight as to
	what on earth is going on.  And why do you say Federico
	shows no evidence of having searched the archives?  One can
	search till one is blue in the face and come away no wiser
	on this issue.

		cheers,

Cheers for the support Rolf. I have searched the archives, and have  
the Pinheiro and Bates book in front of my nose (plus MASS4 and many  
others).

The bottom line here is, I'm pretty cool with RTFM and all that, my  
problem is that I do not have a clear FM to read about my issue, and  
hence I have to pester (because that how people seem to feel) the  
list. I apologise for asking an inconvenient question.

Fede
