I guess you're "\include"ing the files, rather than "\input"ting them,
right? I agree it would be a good idea to clean up the auxiliary
files for secondary files, but the way AUCTeX currently records the
names of the included files this isn't supereasy. They're listed in
`TeX-active-styles', but mixed together with classes and packages, so
it's difficult to extract just the names of the included files.
Unless you have a real need to use "\include", with "\input" you don't
have multiple auxiliary files.
Bye,
