Yes, that's a major problem.
The hack I'm using is to link all the lilypond files into one
directory. I have a script that changes the names to include some
unique string, usually the directory name.

I don't think there's any way to use lilypond-book to do real work without
several
kinds of hacks. I'm using:
A hack to get the margins to correctly line up with the headers.
A hack to get the included files to cause recompilation
The above mentioned hack to allow input files in multiple
directories.
I think it's worth it to avoid using the hacks which will undoubtedly
change next month that people are adding to let lilypond do some of
the work of a real publishing program. I don't expect anyone whose
experience of open-source software is limited to lilypond to believe
this, but I do have LaTeX files from almost 20 years ago that still
work.
