You should store the Mata part in a function defined outside the Stata
program. Than within you Stata program you call that Mata function in
one line. So the basic structure would be:

mata:
void foo() {
    ...
}
end

program define foo
    ...
    mata: foo()
    ...
end

Hope this helps,
Maarten
