Unearthed Arcana.
Essentially, under the Gestalt rules, characters choose two classes every class level and combine them-- gaining the better of any numerical values and all of the class features of both. Normally, these rules apply to all characters in a campaign, and the characters take a Gestalt combination every level.
Characters can not combine two Prestige Classes at any level.

A 7th level cleric going into Radiant Servant of Total Munchkinizing class would do so under the RAW, so it would cost 7,000 xp for that level. If she then picked up a level of fighter, that would cost her only 1,000 xp.
I'd take advantage of the Prestige Class limitation-- Prestige Classes are always taken as advancement in your highest class. This upholds any implied level prerequisites and avoids the curious situation of Gestalting a Prestige Class into your first class level. It also prevents characters from acquiring one or two levels in tons of different Prestige Classes, or from characters ever having a PrC/PrC Gestalt.
