Right. \include is not a simple \input.

I must say I do not really understand this problem.
Please send me the sample dia file.

This is indeed true. This is exactly the same problem which
was noted by Kostas a few days ago.

The reason is the set_font function in pstricks output plug-in is
not yet implemented. I wanted to do it in an elegant way
and I simply did not know how and had no time to investigate that
so I left \setfont macro in the exported code.

If you know how to match font names and sizes in TeX, let me know
or write set_font function yourself (Kostas is also looking into it).

P.S. Currently I am in Italy so my response may not be immediate.
