Most likely a model that uses all of the design factors at the same time would be more appropriate.  But it is hard to say without more information about your data.

What are your variables? 
What level of measurement are they? 
How man levels are there? 
Do the levels represent all the possible levels for that variable or are they randomly chosen from among the possible values?
What role does each variable play independent, dependent, something to be controlled for?
Are co-variates measured once or at the same time as repeated DVs?
For repeated measures what is the nature of the repetition? time, before after, members of a pair of group (mother - father, teacher student, litter mates,etc.), different treatment conditions?

How did you select you subjects and gather your data?

Hello All,

I want to compare a series of dependent variables, and they are all within
subjects.
I already done a series of paired-sample t-test.
But now, I want to hold some independent variables as co-variates. However,
since these co-variates are also within-subjects, I'm not sure how can I do
that...
Someone told me vaguely of a way including parallel regressions and than
comparing the residuals...

So, can I compare two within-subjects' dependent variables while holding
co-variates?
 If so, can it be done in SPSS?

Thanks in advance!!
