I would do this as follows: You can estimate the non-linear
equation with -nl-, as you suggested, and store the 
results with -estimates store-. Estimate the other equation 
with -regress- and estimate that one too with -estimates 
store-. Then combine them with -suest-. See the example 
below. 

However, in the example the standard errors of the nl 
equations get extremely large. Either I made a mistake and 
this procedure is not legal, or the -nl- model doesn't fit at 
all, which isn't surprising since I just chose this model to 
illustrate the steps that need to be taken.

*--- begin example -------
sysuse auto, clear
nl exp3: price mpg
estimates store nl
reg weight foreign price mpg
estimates store ols

suest nl ols
*---- end example --------- 

Hope this helps,
Maarten
