It should be possible to find out by looking at \include and \input
statements.  You will probably come up with an example where this will
fail, but at least it could the basis for an educated guess.  One
could also look at the implementation in RefTeX in order to see how it
is solved there.

Not necessarily.  You could have a master document which looks like
this:

\input{someotherfile}
