SPICE netlisting doesn't work right with source= hierarchy, but you  
can still do hierarchy the SPICE way.

Don't use the source= attribute in your symbols. Use file= instead.  
Use gnetlist -g spice-sdb to make a separate netlist for each  
subcircuit. Be sure to use the subcircuit label and subcircuit I/O  
symbols from the spice component library in your schematics. With the  
-I option, spice-sdb will let SPICE handle subcircuit inclusion  
with .INCLUDE (that's the way I do it), otherwise it'll include  
referenced subcircuits itself.

Be sure to follow the instructions at http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/ 
SPICE/intro.html

The path's a bit narrow, but it goes where you want, I think (see my  
earlier post today).
