No. If you're going to take stratification into account, you need to use 
the -svy- commands. You declare your weight, clusters, and strata using 
-svyset- (see the manual or help page). You use the -svy- prefix for 
tables and for regressions, e.g., svy: reg y x. The -svy- commands 
automatically know the design information you've supplied with -svyset-.

Is this correct even with if the first sample is an SRS and the second 
is clustered? I can't show otherwise, but it doesn't feel right that 
every case in a specific urban area should have the same weight 
regardless of which sample it was drawn from.
