"I did something and it doesn't work. Why?"
is far less useful than a detailed concrete example.
For example, narrow the broken file down to
ten lines or so of troff and a small EPS file
and then post that.
My first guess would be that your EPS file is
non-conforming and is covering all the
text that came before it, even outside the
bounding box. But it's hard to say anything
without details.
