-xtmixed- is not as flexible as -sem-. Some types of models, like
growth models with one response variable, can be estimated by both,
but the class of models to which both can be applied is quite limited.
What -gllamm- does is it relaxes some of the restrictions that
-xtmixed- imposes, essentially allowing interactions of variables and
coefficients that are fixed in -xtmixed-. You have a genuine
multivariate response if you start considering other endogenous
variables, as your interest appears to be, so I doubt you could tweak
-xtmixed- to your purposes, although I might be wrong on this.
