As far as I've gathered, TeX-auto-store can be used to automatically detect any \newcommand{} in files and create an .el file in the auto directory which adds the commands to the TeX-symbol-list. From there they can be used for things like auto-completion. I've also seen that if the command is declared in a separate file but the TeX-master is set, it will create the .el file in the auto folder of the TeX-master.
When the TeX-master file is parsed on the other hand, any .tex files added via \input{} or \include{} seem to be added to the list of style hooks to run. As far as I've seen, this has the effect that the auto-completion for the \newcommand{} declared in a separate file is also available in the TeX-master. The problems start when the \input{} and \include{} commands are more complex. In the following examples, preamble2.el to preamble5.el are not run because the files are not found at the paths specified in the master.el file.: \input{preamble0} % This works fine \input{prea mble1} % This works fine \input{../../preamble2} % This is not added to the TeX-run-style-hooks % list at all \input{"preamble3"} % This gets added with quotes escaped, % i.e. "\"preamble2\"" \input{folder/preamble4} % This gets added as "folder/preamble3" \input{../preamble5} % This gets added as "../preamble4" Another issue is that if several files are included that have the same name but are in different subfolders, the generated .el files will end up overwriting each other, so the symbol list of only one of the .tex files will be available. Granted, this is probably quite the edge case but it would be nice to solve nonetheless. Somewhat related to this topic but not really a bug, more of a feature request: it would be nice if files added via \import{}{} and \subimport{}{} commands from the import package were added as well when parsing.
