so your dome and diffuser should be on the same surface, you think? that is, both attached to the roof.
(have you tried it?)
you could also put a small celing surface that is not connected to anything to put the diffuser in if you want. (suspended -- buildings in EnergyPlus don't actually have to be built....)
I looked quickly on the helpdesk and did not see any specifically asking your question -- I saw a few where there were mismatched areas or other issues.

And, I saw a previous question in the archives from another user (with an error showing up) asking if my case would be possible to model, for which you had asked to send the idf to supportdesk.
