There is a information in the ext. guide, but only to method 2.
There should be a info about the more comfortable master-files-method, too.
1.4.2 Cross-References Between Files
It is possible to set up cross-references between the different files.
First, open all the files in question: let's call them A and B in a two
file example, where B is included in A. Let's say you insert a label in A,
then want to reference it in B. Switch to A, then select
Insert->Cross-Reference. Now switch the document to B without closing
the cross-reference popup. Insert the cross reference and you are done!
When you preview file A, everything is properly included and labeled.
If you accidentally close the popup, then reopen it while you are in B,
you will only see B's labels. This whole procedure is perhaps a bit
counterintuitive (it has even been called a bug), but it does work.
