No joy there, Michael.

twoway (histogram osteocalcin, width(5) yaxis(1))  ///
        (line hr TOC, yaxis(2))

gives me the same as:

twoway (histogram osteocalcin, width(5) yaxis(2))   ///
       (line hr TOC, yaxis(1))

twoway (histogram osteocalcin, width(5) yaxis(1))  ///
        (line hr TOC, yaxis(2))
