R help - Feb 2013 - MIMIC latent variable with PLS Path Modelling with R ?

I want estimate MIMIC latent variable with R in a Monte Carlo simulation.
The packages plspm and semPLS don't permit to introduce MIMIC variable 
but only reflexives or formatives variables.
The only one program which permits to use MIMIC latent variable with 
PLSPM seems to be XLSTAT, which can not be used to simulate a lot of 
data bases.
It is a real challenge to develop a package with PLSPM and MIMIC latent 
variable?. And I prefer to use a package which exists.
Has someone a solution in R ?

Herv?

By MIMIC do you mean multiple indicator/multiple cause?  Something like

If so, you can use sem, Lavaan, or openMx.
