I have a whole family of documents that I'm working on, all of which I

Then I tried moving it down to the root directory of my tree, and
putting it in with the LaTeX command: "\input{../../last_page}". That
got the complaint

pdflatex: Not writing to ../../last_page.aux (openout_any = p).

I have write permissions to that directory.

Anyone know what's up? I can 'fix' this problem with links, but it'll be
a pain.


It's a security /feature/ in pdflatex if I remember correctly. Write permissions are not at fault, rather you should change the openout_any configuration setting to something less restrictive.

At the moment I'm happy with using \input instead of \include. If I should ever do a book this way, I'll certainly try to remember this tidbit.
