 Are you sure you know what the [h] does?  It does *not* say "I want
the figure here and nowhere else", it says "if you can't put it here,
place this figure and the following ones somewhere later and surprise
me".  If you want an image precisely "here", do not use a floating
environment such as figure.  As for the caption, see capt-of.sty and
float.sty.

 Unfortunately, the only decent non-technical introduction to floats
that I know of is on German:
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/info/german/gleitobjekte/gleitobjekte.ps

 A bit more technical, but in English: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet/floats/.
