AUCTeX saves the parsing information in an "auto" directory if
`TeX-auto-save' is t.  In multifile documents the connection between
included files and the master file is established with file variables,
as desribed in (info "(auctex)Multifile") <-- Type `C-x C-e' here.

And there are `TeX-master' file variables pointing to the master file in
all relevant files?

It would help if you could provide a test case to reproduce the problem.
This could be two minimal LaTeX files and information in which
directories they are stored.

You load preview-latex, but it looks like you never load AUCTeX.  Is it
loaded in a site startup file?
