Yes and no... :-)

The p directive will top align in the sense that the first line of each
entry will be at the top of the vertical space provided for the row once
all columns in the row have been defined.  However, the images will be
bottom aligned on the baseline of the first line in that row and all the
columns will have the same baseline.  The height of the first line in
each paragraph will all be the same, equal to the maximum of the heights
of the first lines in all the columns.  Therefore, if the images have
different heights, they will not be aligned with respect to the tops of
the images.  

I hope this makes sense.

A solution is to use a parbox of the right (and equal) height for each
image.  Enclose the includegraphics within a parbox but you will have to
preset the height to use...  

HTH,
eric
