I have 3 nominal responses (each with three levels) from different experimental conditions and J covariates for each of 32 subjects (32 x 3+J matrix). I have previously modeled this data in R using a multinomial logistic model with a random subject-level intercept. My goal is to make inferences about the probabilities of each response level across conditions and to test for an overall effect of condition, while controlling for within-participant correlation. Is using the CLUSTER option in Mplus on participant IDs a viable approach for the model, and would this estimate random intercept variances? Are there other models I might consider?

It sounds like you have multivariate data with more than one variable per person. This does not require multilevel analysis using the CLUSTER option. Multivariate analysis handles this automatically.
