[texhax] Counter error appears from include and includeonly

[W. Craig Carter]

I have fairly deeply nested documents using \input, \include, and
\includeonly.

I have encountered a new error that I cannot resolve. I am hoping for
hints about where to look to solve this one.

I am using version:
 latex --version
TeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159
kpathsea version 3.4.5


I get an error:

! LaTeX Error: No counter 'Item' defined.

even though there is no occurence of the word Item in my documents.

OK, so, I try to fix this by brute force by defining that counter:
\newcounder{Item}

Then it complains about another undefined counter:


! LaTeX Error: No counter 'Hfootnote' defined.

Alright, I will use another brute force: \newcounter{Hfootnote}

and then I get yet another identical error for the counter section at level

Finally if I define that one, then I finally get (not unexpected errors)
about defining counters that already exist.

I am stumped about where this error in creeping in... Any ideas?
