To be precise, in the first stage I need to create clusters on the basis of a set of variables, s1, and in the second stage I need to create clusters, within the groups formed in the first stage, using a different set of variables, s2.

I am not quite sure what you mean, but is it something like this?

cluster <method> <the first set of variables>, generate( stage1cl )
levelsof stage1cl
local stage1clusters `r(levelsof)'
forvalues k=1/`stage1clusters' {
   cluster <method> <the second set of variables>, generate( stage2cl`k')
}
egen stage2cl = group( stage2cl* ), missing
