Hmm.. I don't think I see the problem. In my thesis I'm doing this and all
I had to do was change the class of the article-class documents to book.
Then I used "include file"? Anyway, I'm going to take my thesis, remove
all the unneccessary stuff and put it as an example here:

So you can look at it and also put it into a tar-ball here:
