Well, I hesitate to accept this solution. nXhtml is a great package with a lot of features, but what i'm looking for is a simple multimode in a buffer which will let me jump between php, javascript and css in html document for indention and highlighting. Omitting the fact that nXhtml had insufficient performance without byte-compiling (i didn't try compiling it tbh) I don't like the idea of having one package for all tasks. Sorry if i misunderstood the role of nXhtml and mumamo package.

I can not remember if I changed something since that time, but now I'm having this annoying error just like the topic starter.


It is a bit unclear to me if you are using mmm-mode or nXhtml. If you
want to test nXhtml I just uploaded a new beta 2.07 which may fix your
problems.

Byte compiling nXhtml can be done from the nXhtml menu in Emacs.

For the problem that you do not wish to have everything in one package
I have no cure ... ;-)
