Hy there,
just read your question and thought about an answer. Well, I had similar
problems that I fixed rapidly by

- use   htp   instead of  h  (sorry, but my french terminal is so weird that
I prefer NOT to give any backslash etc.)  for the float positioning,
  this usually prints the floats at the beginning of the next page

- change LaTeX-values for values like maxfloatonpage, textfraction, etc
(recalled from memmory, names might be different) to allow for more
  floats on a page

- general debugging practice: reduce the size of your picture (using
   unitlength ) totry whether it fits when it occupies less space

- there is float.sty around (at Stuttgart for example) that replaces
  the standard; I've just read the doc, seems to be nice stuff.

That should do.

Have fun|
