Dear Matts & Pascal,
This was my feeling also, but I was concerned about the way maximum likelihood would use these fixed effects. Basically, it will take the IOV random effect for an individual with only one course and use it to account for some of the variability that would normally be taken up by the IIV random effect. This is fair enough but it may affect the estimates of IOV and IIV (and it will always be in the direction most convenient fo the model).
