Here is what I use to put figures wherever I want.  The command has 2
arguments.
The first argument is the figure caption. If you don't enter the figure
caption, it inserts
the line`Insert figure here'.
\newcommand{\myfigure}[2][Insert figure here.]{
\refstepcounter{figure}
\begin{center}#2\mbox{}\\
{\bfseries\small \figurename~\thefigure :~ #1}\end{center}}

Here  are examples of the usage.
\myfigure[The graph of the inequality $x_{1}+3x_{2}\geq 15$]{%
\input fig1.tex\label{fig1}}
\myfigure[Plotting the  graph of the inequality $x_{1}+3x_{2}\geq 15$]{%
\includegraphics{fig05.eps}\label{fig05}}
I guess you can modify it to your needs.
