[R] lme4 --> GLMM

hello!

this is a question, how can i specify the random part in the GLMM-call
(of the lme4 library) for compound matrices just in the the same way as
they defined in the lme-Call (of the nlme library).  For example

i would just need
random=list(my.Subject=pdBlocked(list(pdIdent(~... , ...),pdIdent(~... ,
...))))

this specification , if i also attach   library(nlme) ,   is not
accepted in the GLMM-call, though the simple form


random=list(my.Subject=pdIdent(~...,...))

is accepted.

what is the analogous of pdBlocked  & Co  from nlme in  lme4?


thanks  for  replay
