I think Inset (new in version 6) has the functionality that you want. The first example in the documentation for Inset is Graphics[{LightGray, Disk[], Inset[Plot[Tan[x], {x, -3, 3}]]}] which insets a plot of Tan[x] in the graphics primitive {LightGray, Disk[]}. The documentation says that "The object [i.e. the inset object] can be a graphic, cell expression, string, or any other expression.
