Hello, Faith,
this is a rather not R-related, but statistical question for which you
should probably seek (professional?) advice. Nevertheless, as unspecific
as you formulated it, you may want to look at Friedman's test which
allows to use a (second) blocking variable, or at a regression approach.
If you are really kean on a nonparametric _multivariate_ method the
references below *may* be helpful. The first is really mathematical, the
second more applied.
