Spellcasting levels stack for spell levels, but not for descriptors or complexity. It would be simple enough to disitnguish the classes with descriptors and spell complexity - the greenbond has simple spells, but complex (and exotic?) spells of the plant and positive energy descriptors (and maybe others, I'm working from memory). You can use this idea to balance multiclassed characters - a wizard 10/cleric 10 would still cast spells of 9th level, just as a single-class wizard or cleric could, they might just lack access to the wizard- or cleric-exclusive complex spells of the highest levels, like Mordenkainen's disjunction or whatever - while the very best spells would be exotic and available to anyone who wants to pay a feat for them - neither multi- nor single-classed characters would get them automatically.</blockquote>
