This is hardly original to LaTeX (in fact even TeX has a way), and most
programming languages have such a mechanism (e.g. #include in C).
R's nearest equivalent is source(), but that does not have a mechanism
like TEXINPUTS to search for files (but then neither does MikTeX). I
believe I have seen a search implementation for source(), but R's package
mechanism makes it much less necessary.

Dear R-people,
I want to use an idea from LaTeX in the work flow with R.
It is possible in LaTeX to have a main file from which other files are called
(ie included).
So for example if you have book, the main index file would call each chapter
separately.
Whereas in R you have functions and packages to encapsulate useful pieces
of code.
Is there something comparable in R that follows the above 'include' idea from
LaTeX?
A main file that calls parts of an analysis or data preparation separately.
Thanks!
Michael
