In summary, The conversation is about using figures in EPS format in LaTeX and the differences between using \include and \input for importing them. The issue is that when using \include, the references for the figures are not defined while they are when using \input. The person is using REVTeX4 and MiKTeX on Win x64 and is wondering if there may be any solutions or thoughts on the matter.

I'm having a problem with REVTeX4 and LaTeX. I have four figures in EPS format (although there may be some non-compliance with EPS specs). They are from different applications that claim to export EPS files.

These figures sometimes display in the dvi or ps files and sometimes not. Depends on where they are in the file.
If I put each figure in a separate .tex files (as \begin{figure}...), and
then \include them, they all do display. If I \input them, they do not.

If I use \input, LaTeX2e picks up the figure \labels and uses them in \ref callouts, but if I use \include, the references are not defined. I looked at the aux files, and when using \include, the label info is not there. \protect does not help.

The LaTeX handbook is no help -- it does not say that \label in included files are ignored.

I'm using REVTeX4 and MiKTeX on Win x64, with GSView for x64 (and WinShell as an editor).

Any thoughts?

Why don't you directly import all the files into your main tex file? Wouldn't that be an easier solution?
