Whether or not the file "foo.aux" in ../dynamic-content is newer, it should be read in preference to the one in the current directory because that is the defined behaviour when --output-directory=../dynamic-content But the defined behaviour for : o xetex --output-directory=../dynamic-content E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Welcome/foo.tex must /surely/ be to process E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Welcome/foo.tex, not E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Dynamic-content/foo.tex, which is what it does; the "texinputs" path does not come into this, since an explicit directory has been given. Furthermore, if both E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Welcome/foo.tex and E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Dynamic-content/foo.tex contain "\input E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Welcome/foo.aux", then E:/TeX/Projects/WBH/Welcome/foo.aux is indeed \input as specified (i.e., the value of "texinputs" is ignored (as it should be) because an explicit path to the file has been given).
