Dear Wei,
For stratified analysis, you could run -stcrreg- separately for each  
stratum, using:
	an -if- statement such as "if group==1" within the -stcrreg- command  
line, or
	first issuing "keep if group==1" prior to -stcrreg-.

I'm not sure about your competing causes question as I am using Stata  
10.
Michael
