Well, that depends on *why* you have weights.

If the weights are not sampling weights from a sampling design, you can build a nested logit model using PROC NLMIXED in the SAS/STAT package. You can include weighting there.

If the weights *are* sampling weights from a sampling design, then you've got a problem. I would try to do what I could with PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC, but that is certainly not designed to handle a nested logit model. How many levels of nesting are you building?
