I have been following the postings on this subject with interest,
as I have recently had to solve the exact same problem.

I took copies of all the suggestions, and eventually found one
(I forget which) that worked.  Thanks to all who contributed.

If you're using LaTeX and double sided, the end of each included file
has to have \cleardoublepage (if you want each chapter to start on
a right-hand page); or \newpage, to start on the next page.  

So I wrote a little macro which combines resetting the page counter
and clearing the page.  So the main document printing file has
	\include{FOO} \mymacro
	\include{BAR} \mymacro
	etc
and the included file contains only text [and a zillion control sequences!].
