I agree. But wouldn't

\begin{pspicture}(...,...)(...,...)
  ...
  \rput[bl](<x_coor>,<y_coor>){\includegraphics{Test}}
  ...
\end{pspicture}  

be an option?

\includegraphics and the underlying psfile \special would do that, I
believe. \includegraphics parses Test.eps for the %%BoundingBox entry
and sets-up the correct psfile special.

With \rput one has full control about the position (<x_coor>,<y_coor>)
of the lower-left image corner within the coordinate system set up
by the pspicture environment. Scaling, clipping the image to a user
provided bounding box etc. would be possible through options passed
to \includegraphics.
