Would you consider polycore roofs to be providing lateral support to W-beams? Can you consider diaphragm action with this type of roof?

Do you mean that clear plastic roofing? No, I personally wouldn't count on it being lateral restraint. Nor diaphragm action without published manufacturer's information.
