Notice that -mprobit- only fits a very special case of the multinomial
probit model: it constraints the correlations between the error terms
to be 0, so you do not need an exclusion restriction to estimate it.

Assuming that you still want to do this, I would add all explanatory
variables to your -mprobit- model and constrain the coefficients to be
0 when you do not want to use that variable in that equation. You can
see examples on how to do that in the -mlogit- case in -help
constraint-.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
