I go into xfig with option -specialtext. I draw a rectangle, and put
some words inside. I save the figure as test.fig, and I then export as
PS/LaTeX combined to file test.pstex and test.pstext_t.
Now use Insert-> Input, and input test.pstext_t. Include can be used
only for files with .tex extension. If you want to use include, you
need to rename test.pstext_t to say test.pstext_t.tex.
The difference between input and include is (besides that include does
not accept non .tex extensions) that include starts a new page.
In my opinion, if you use LyX, it is best to export the figure to eps,
and then use Insert -> Figure. This is more flexible, because you can
specify what to do with the inserted figure. Unless you know TeX, you
will not know how to manipulate test.pstext_t.
If you have a figure you want to put on a separate page, then
exporting to PS/LaTeX combined is a good idea.
I agree that the User guide is not clear on this issue. In particular,
it does not make the distinction between input and include. Normally,
they always mean "input" when they say "include" a latex doc.
