I think minipage environment fits the bill. Would the following example,
used to put two pictures side by side, clear enough?

  #+ATTR_LATEX: :options [t]{.5\textwidth}
  #+BEGIN_minipage
  [[file:left-image.pdf]]
  #+END_minipage
  #+ATTR_LATEX: :options [t]{.5\textwidth}
  #+BEGIN_minipage
  [[file:right-image.pdf]]
  #+END_minipage
