I have tried to do just this and failed.  I twiddled with
``showpage''s, tried to hack the PostScript header that dvips puts at
the top of its output, and added save/grestore pairs before and after
the dvips \special.  I tried \special, \epsf, and \psfig.  All failed.
I gave up.  If there is a way to include dvips output within itself, I
am unaware of it.
