Actually there's nothing wrong with \input{filename}, it is I believe
well documented and part of LaTeX, and it differs from \include in
the fact that it does not try a \clearpage. I couldn't find a
reference right now, but I believe that "\input filename" is actually
a different command, and that is the "TeX" one that one might want to
avoid, and that's the one that pdfsync definitely does not follow.
But pdfsync will follow \input{filename}, as a simple example can show.
So if the OP is using \input{filename}, it should work.
