I'm not sure, but I think if your master file has a \documentclass or
\usepackage{beamer}, then the style should be active also in the
\include or \input "slave" buffers.

Probably you mean this.

You can put custom style lisp files into

  ~/.emacs.d/auctex/style/

or any other directory in `TeX-style-path'.  So you could create a

  ~/.emacs.d/auctex/style/mpsi_beamer.el

with contents just

  (load "/usr/local/var/auctex/beamer")

Of course, you need to adapt the path to wherever you've installed
auctex to.
