That is only necesary when your multinomial probit model includes
correlations between the different error terms. The -mprobit- command
in Stata sets these correlations at 0, imposing the equivalent of the
IAA assumption to a multinomial probit model. It is this assumption
that identifies the model rather than an exclusion restriction.
Hope this helps,
