You can use the standard UML 1.4 XMI definition with MagicDraw. However 
Poseidon uses an extended UML 1.4 metamodel to be able to represent 
diagrams (which are not part of UML 1.4 XMI). The extended version is a 
result of merging UML 1.4 and UML 2.0 Diagram Interchange standards and 
the resulting XMI definition is the M2_DiagramInterchangeModel.xml you 
are referring to. You should still be able to import the Poseidon XMI if 
you choose to skip the diagram information from it (I think it is 
somehow possible to turn this option on in Poseidon).

Martin
