Here is what I do:

1. I store every part of a document in a separate file
	part1.tex, part2.tex, ... more useful names are in order,
	usually.
2. I always process precisely one piece at a time.
3. I have part1.dvi, part2.dvi and so forth.
4. The Makefile has a rule which reads as follows:
	.tex.dvi:
		echo '\includeonly{$*.tex}' > xx.tex
		latex main.tex
			(which reads in xx.tex to set things up
			so that the proper part is processed).
		mv main.dvi $*.dvi
		mv main.log $*.log

Something along these lines ....
