Does 'within 2 spaces' include the diagonal spaces?
The rulebook says never to count diagonally, which makes a diagonal neighbor 2 spaces away, and a forum post counts 12 spaces within 2.

Yes for a diagonal neighbor, but only because it is 2 spaces away. You never count a diagonal step as one space, so you count along straight lines. A diagonally touching card is 2 spaces away (one across, one up or down), which makes 'within 2 spaces' cover 12 spaces: the 4 adjacent ones, 4 more straight out, and the 4 diagonal ones. A diagonal card is not within 1 space.
