So... You're saying that for ALL frame-relay physical interfaces other
than a hub RIP router, you should enter "ip split-horizon"?

Would this configuration example look appropriate for this explaination?

!
Interface s0
Description EIGRP HUB
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.248
ip split-horizon
no ip eigrp 90 split-horizon
encapsulation frame-relay
!
Interface s1
Description RIP HUB
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.248
encapsulation frame-relay
!
Interface s2
Description EIGRP SPOKE
ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.248
ip split-horizon
encapsulation frame-relay
!
Interface s3
Description RIP SPOKE
ip address 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.248
ip split-horizon
encapsulation frame-relay
!
Interface s4
Description OSPF (or ISIS), any type
ip address 5.5.5.5 255.255.255.248
ip split-horizon
encapsulation frame-relay

router eigrp 90
no auto-summary
network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0
network 3.3.3.3 0.0.0.0

router rip
version 2
no auto-summary
passive-interface default
no passive-interface Serial1
no passive-interface Serial3
network 2.0.0.0
network 4.0.0.0

router ospf 1
network 5.5.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 0

This question, as far as being "right or wrong" is driving me crazy.
Thank you for any additional assistance.
