This has certainly worked in the four documents that were unreliable that I
was working on.
I am a fairly new user of graph.mp and thus am not sure what you might want
in the way of examples. The reason why I had the two versions of pictures in
testmp.tex before the problem graph was because the btex...etex method of
text inclusion in metapost is quite different than the "..." method of text
inclusion and can cause different problems (particularly the mp to tex to
dvi to mp process), thus my test file for context installation included both
forms.
Thanks again
