AUCTeX can parse defintions and add them to completion list, but
automatic catering for fontification is not possible.

You can tell font-latex about your macro with a file local variable:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\begin{document}
\inldef{Test}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% eval: (font-latex-add-keywords '(("inldef" "{" )) 'italic-command)
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best, Arash
