tossim can run only one tinyos application at time, on as many as you want 
simulated nodes (motes) but nothing else. in tossim you can simulate 
communication directly sending fake radio message.
so if you want to simulate the base station app you need to setup that way:
put some dbg msg in the base station app
compile it for tossim
build a tossim execution file in python or in c++ in which you inject randomly 
radio message
(see http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/TOSSIM#Injecting_Packets)

otherwise, there's tossim-live, that's a modified tossim version, not well 
documented that can do a lot more things like run different application, but 
i can't swear it.
