A long time ago I was involved in preparing some notes on linear
algebra, a task divided into<br>
chapters, section, subsections, real text to be typeset. We
persuaded Latex to do a lot<br>
of the work by defining a top-level, driver file LinalgDRV.tex and a
nested sequence of<br>
minor drivers.<br>
<br>
BEFORE the \begin{document} command in LinalgDRV.tex there were
these2 lines (among many others)<br>
\newcommand{\dirsep}{/}<br>
\newcommand{\dirprefix}{}<br>
<br>
AFTER the \begin{document} there were a series of commands to
identify chapters:<br>
<br>
\include{Linalg-CH1}<br>
<br>
Linalg-CH1/tex started, for example, with<br>
<br>
\chapter{Zot}<br>
\input{\dirprefix CH1\dirsep CH1-Sec3.tex}<br>
<br>
The file CH1/CH1-Sec3.tex started, for example, with<br>
<br>
\section{Yep}<br>
\input{\dirprefix CH1\dirsep Sec3\dirsep CH1-Sec3-Sub2.tex}<br>
<br>
The file CH1/CH1/Sec3-Sub2.tex started, for example, with<br>
\subsection{At last}<br>
Real mathematics to be typeset<br>
<br>
You may not want the \section and \subsection headers, of course<br>
<br>
Then it was just a matter of running LinalgDRV.tex through our TeX
compiler (TeXStudio, as it happens)<br>
and the low-level files of real mathematics were all processed in
sequence.<br>
<br>
It was also quite easy to splice in new pieces or take out ones no
longer needed .. just edit the intermediate<br>
driver files.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps a bit.<br>

<div> I would add the following two recommendations:<br>
<br>
*) Avoid paths with spaces (e.g., try something like
"Latex-works" instead of "Latex works")<br>
<br>
*) Avoid absolute paths for files that "belong together",
use relative paths instead (this also makes it much easier
to copy/move the files, e.g., for a backup). E.g.,
"\include{sections/1.tex}" instead of "\include{F:/LaTex
works/test/sections/1.tex}" in F:/LaTex works/test/main.tex<br>

A quick search shows several similar questions on
stack exchange forums. One thing mentioned is that
writing .aux files is restricted to a single directory
for security reasons, unless you set a command line
