This also happend on my machine: SUN4. 
It is popular problem.

To avoid this, I changed TEXINPUT environment variable for inferrior
shell so that TEXINPUT includes the directory of processed file.

----------original TeX-start-shell in the tex-mode.el-------------------
;;; The utility functions:

(defun TeX-start-shell ()
  (require 'shell)
  (save-excursion
!    (set-buffer (make-shell "TeX-shell" nil nil "-v"))
    (setq TeX-shell-map (copy-keymap shell-mode-map))
    (TeX-define-common-keys TeX-shell-map)
    (use-local-map TeX-shell-map)
    (if (zerop (buffer-size))
	(sleep-for 1))))
----------And my reviced version ---------------------------------------
(defun TeX-start-shell ()
  (require 'shell)
  (save-excursion
!    (set-buffer (make-shell "TeX-shell" 
!			    (concat exec-directory "env")
!			    "/dev/null"
!			    (format "TEXINPUTS=%s:%s"
!				    (getenv "TEXINPUTS")
!				    default-directory
!				    )
!			    "-"
!			    "sh" "-v"))
    (setq TeX-shell-map (copy-keymap shell-mode-map))
    (TeX-define-common-keys TeX-shell-map)
    (use-local-map TeX-shell-map)
    (if (zerop (buffer-size))
	(sleep-for 1))
    ))
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of cource this still has a problem. 
If you edit many tex-files under different directory,
just the first processed directory is available.

However, I haven't experenced such the situation yet.
Because I use '\include{}' just for a big document like Theses or Book,
and I NEVER edit such big documents at the same time.
