I am not clear what the difficulty here is at all. Please give
a specific example or more detail.
I have encountered the same problem, trying to make a graph for a researcher. She wanted to plot something for patients with antibody A, antibody B, either antibody, both antibodies and without either antibody.

Clearly the groups are not mutually exclusive, and a nuisance to plot. While Stata is good at groups which are mutually exclusive, it does not seem to foresee overlapping groups on the same plot - probably because you can't see them ending up in the same model.

I ended up calculating relative risks and confidence intervals for each of the groups above, then making a little dataset of them and using -metan- to display the results.

P Before printing, think about the environment
