I presume you mean examples of models such as described in AM Jones "A 
double-hurdle model of cigarette consumption", Journal of Applied 
Econometrics 4 (1989), 23-39
[Advice. Please use an appropriate subject for your message. And give 
explicit references if your refer to a particular type of model. Don't 
assume Statalist's members know your model under this name. Also, 
please don't send attachments to Statalist.  All this advice is 
rehearsed in the Statalist FAQ.]

Advice on how to programme it?  
(1) Read (borrow or buy) Gould and Sribney, Maximum Likelihood 
Estimation with Stata (details online at StataCorp bookstore), and see 
how -ml- programmes can be built up. (It may be easier than you think 
-- honest!
(2) Look at ado files for related problems (e.g. -biprobit- in your 
case?), and use their code for inspiration (and for providing 
signals for things that you may need to beware of)

Good luck
Stephen
