In the Anima Mage section, it has in the adaption that you can use the same class with psionics, substituting casting for psionics. I worked on a fairly fancy build that used that at one point; I can't remember where it is exactly, but it focused on Binding w/ a moderate dash of psionics for the most part. Here's the basis:
Human Binder 2 / Ardent 2 / Bloodline 2 (this is pretty critical) / Anima Mage 8 / Knight of Sacred Seal 4 / Scion of Dantallion 2
If you time the Anima Mage levels right, and take Practiced Manifestor, and end up getting a ML of 18 which allows 9th level psionics due to Ardent's wonky power choices. The other classes get you an effective binder level of 24, which gets you all binder benefits outside of their immunities (which should not be overlooked). Also, BAB of +11, which is pretty good for a truely diverse gish. The early stuff requires you to take Practiced Manifestor, Improved Binding, and some metapsionic (Extend ain't horrible, but take whatever you want to end up with).
Anyways, you can remove the Bloodline levels, and you don't really lose that much power, and you deal with a lot less cheesiness, too. You do something like this:
Human Binder 2 / Ardent 1 / Anima Mage (Psionics) 6 / KoSS 5 / Scion of Dantalion 2 / Anima Mage +4. Similar to above, except only EBL of 19 and ML of 15. BAB +12. Otherwise, similar to above.
From a pure learning experience the latter will be pretty good. Focuses on Binding w/ a touch of psionics, in practice, so will give you some "focus".
Hope this helps!
