Yes and no: Given the above, with File1=

    \documentclass[11pt]{book}
    \begin{document}
    This is text in File1
    \include{../FolderB/File2}
    \end{document}

and File2 = This is text in File2, I get the message

    No file ../FolderB/File2.aux.
    )
    [1{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex:
    Not writing to ../FolderB/File2.aux (openout_any = p).

    ! I can't write on file `../FolderB/File2.aux'.
    \@include ...\immediate \openout \@partaux #1.aux
                                                      \immediate \write
    \@partau...
    l.15 \include{../FolderB/File2}
                                  
    Please type another output file name:

When I then click Enter, I get

    (../FolderB/File2.tex) [2] (./File1.aux
    No file ../FolderB/File2.aux.
    )
    ){/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/dvips/tetex/f7b6d320.enc}</usr/local/teT
    eX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb>
    Output written on File1.pdf (2 pages, 9551 bytes).
    Transcript written on File1.log.

and LaTeX correctly typesets two pages with "This is text in File1" on 
page 1 and "This is text in File2" on page 2.

Is this really the way it's spoozed to be?
