Inspiring them to be like her, yes, but not keeping them with her. After all, Diana left home and left her mother. She visits, but her mother and the women who inspired her, are secondary to her as the primary. They appear in her books, not her in theirs (which they don't have, generally, of course).
But, as I said, her having a close relationship with Donna doesn't fit the original backstory for Donna (admittedly even the first story doesn't sense, and it only gets worse). Sure, they could, but there's no reason they should, and they didn't, and I see no value in retconning their entire dynamic to make it happen (I don't like Alfred as Bruce's parent or Barry and Iris as parental figures for Wally, either, btw). Seeing more of Cassie and Diana is fine to a point. I'd rather see more of Diana and completely-ordinary-non-powered-Vanessa than either of those. Because that, to me, is the relationship that was real, the one isn't a "phony connection." And I like non-cape supporting casts. Golden age Etta and Steve were great too, and keeping version of them I actually like around would be wonderful.
