Hi Rajkumar,  
Nowadays it's not possible to create more than one sampling unit per survey (actually it's possible but we disabled that feature from the survey designer because it was creating too much confusion...). What do you want to achieve exactly? Do you want to link 2 different kind of data into a single survey, like a biophysical and a socio-economic survey?  
Thanks,

Thanks for the answer. Till now, It is all right for me. I was thinking what can be done having different sampling unit within a survey. It should be possible to link different forms (thematic Area) within one survey. I am waiting for the further developing on it.
