Do you need to include a WITH statement that allows all variables to correlate at the between level when conducting a two-level time series analysis with a cross-lagged model (similar to ex 9.32 in the manual)?
Is a model not correctly specified if this WITH statement in not included?

It may not make that much of a difference but is best to include that.

Thanks Dr. Muthen. I found some effects were only significant when the WITH statement is excluded, but it sounds like the results with the WITH statement included are more trustworthy?

Yes.
