Howdy,
No, they weren't already open; I assume they were opened by TeXShop
from the \include{} reference.
I was careful about getting the ``%!TEX root = (rel/path/to/root)''
line in each one correct but I don't see how that really means
anything except when compiling from the included file's source window.
I did have problems compiling if the \include{} referenced a full
path rather than a relative path from the root. Maybe that is because
the full paths went through my /Users/myname/Desktop/ directory. At
the time I wanted to test out the syncing and not the compiling.
Again, it was a fairly simple case with the root file and two folders
on the Desktop and included files inside each of those folders as
well as inside a folder inside one of those folders.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
