-mprobit- is for categorical variables and -oprobit- is for ordered
variables. You can of course treat an ordered variable as categorical,
just not the other way around. For more see -help mprobit- and -help
oprobit-.

If I understand you correctly Y_it is a level and Y*_it is the change
in that level (presumably over t). Level and change are two different
things, a variable can have an effect on a level without influencing
the change and vice versa. So I do not understand why that would be a
puzzle.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
