Do you really need the variables DEPEND and main_depend?

My guess is that your problem is the order that make expands variables and
evaluates rules. As you are now using your rules to expand variables those
variables will not be expanded until after the rules have been evaluated.
A more simple and working approach would be:
-8<-----------------------------
texfiles = main.tex
all_pdf = $(texfiles:%.tex=%.pdf)
all: $(all_pdf)
main.pdf: section1.tex
%.pdf: %.tex
@echo "All prerequisites:" $^
touch $@
-8<-----------------------------
But maybe you have some other reason to have your variable main_depend not
shown in your example?
