The above seems fine to me. Here's a little more:

@SysInclude{diag}
@Include{flowchart.lout}
@SysInclude{doc}
@Doc
@Text @Begin
@CD @Heading{Flowchart}

@CD @Diag
    font{Helvetica Base 10p}
{
    @Centre{A:: @FileBox hsize{8f}{top}}
    //1c
    B:: @SlantBox hsize{8f}{left} |1c C:: @SlantBox hsize{8f}{right}
//
@VHVArrow from{A@S} to{B@N}
@VHVArrow from{A@S} to{C@N}
}

@End @Text


If it gets more complicated the usual approach is to put a table (@Tbl)
inside the diagram and put each item in a cell.
