Hi,

I try this with a splitsplitplot example.

I make the correct model with aov, lme do compare with lmer.

But I cant make a correct model in lmer. Look that the aov and lme results are 
similars, but very different from lmer. In aov and lme is used the correct DF 
for each variable, in lmer it use a same DF for all? Denom=54.

What is my mistake?

Thanks
Ronaldo
