st: Specify omitted group in regression

Subject   st: Specify omitted group in regression
Date   Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:52:13 -0800 (PST)

Hi,
 
I am running a regression with interacted factors and would like to specify the factors to use as the base.  I do the following, but it seems only to work when the factor is not interacted.
 
fvset base 1 agencytype
xtgee breast i.agencytype bps i.agencytype#i.bps, family(binomial) link(logit) corr(exc) vce(robust)
 
The output as below omits agencytype=6 when interacted with BPS rather than agencytype=1.  How do I get Stata to omit agencytype 1 instead?
 
Thanks in advance,
Simone
 
 
note: 2.agencytype#1.BPS identifies no observations in the sample
note: 6.agencytype#1.BPS omitted because of collinearity
