In my opinion the problem I posted has nothing to do with preview-latex.

No, I qote the Auctex-Manual:

3.2.4 Running LaTeX on parts of your document
---------------------------------------------

If you want to check how some part of your text looks like, and do not
want to wait until the whole document has been typeset, then mark it as
a region and use `C-c C-r'.  It behaves just like `C-c C-c', but it
only uses the document preamble and the region you marked.

    If you are using `\include' or `\input' to structure your document,
try `C-c C-b' while you are editing one of the included files.  It will
run `latex' only on the current buffer, using the preamble from the
master file.
