Sean -- ... or, if you want to do it *really correctly*, you can use the threshold model of Sewall Wright for the discrete character and use the MCMC approach that I proposed in 2012:
Felsenstein, J. 2012. A comparative method for both discrete and continuous characters using the threshold model. American Naturalist 179: 145-156. which is implemented in my program Threshml which can be called from Liam Revell's Phytools R package. It also works for multiple threshold characters and multiple continuous characters.
