Hi Chunhao, If you carefully read the posting that was referred to you will see that lme() and not lmer() was used as an example (for using with the multcomp package). lmer() was only mentioned as an aside... lmer() is S4 and doesn't work with multcomp, which is S3.
Apropos of specifying random effects: an example was given in the posting showing that aov(... +Error(...)) and lme(..., random =...) give the same result. Use that as your guideline.
