You're welcome.  I have a question, though.  Let's say you have 3 files
like these:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[12pt]{article} % This is main.tex
\usepackage{subfiles}
\begin{document}
\subfile{section1.tex}
\subfile{section2.tex}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:

\documentclass[main]{subfiles} % This is section1.tex
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:section1:1}
  \int f dx =0
\end{equation}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "main"
%%% End:

\documentclass[main]{subfiles} % This is section2.tex
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:section2:1}
  \sum \alpha_k=0
\end{equation}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "main"
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you restart Emacs and open main.tex *only*, you have access to all
labels defined in the subfiles?  I don't get anything when I open
main.tex and hit `C-c )' (RefTeX enabled).

The reason I'm asking is that I have implemented such a feature for
`ltxtable.el' where you have labels in other tex files and include them
with \LTXtable{<width>}{filename.tex} and had to go through more hassle.
Maybe you can help me here.

Best, Arash
