I don't exactly understand what problem you are referring to. Is it that you
have lines like
\input{includedfile}
or
\input{includedfile.lytex}
and that lilypond-book doesn't find the includedfile.{tex,lytex} file?
However, why should the unprocessed includedfile.tex file be located
in /tmp/? This is where the processed output file will be placed, so
having the original input file in that temporary directory seems silly.

On the other hand, as far as I can see, lilypond-book will not find such
an \input:ted file even if you specify it's location using -I. Rather, 
it will
search using the same mechanism as is used within LaTeX to search for
files. In other words, you should add the directory to the TEXINPUTS
search path to make lilypond-book find it.
