what about adding local variables to your files? At the end
insert

%%% Local Variables:
%%% coding: ...
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: <master file>
%%% End:

coding is not necessary. If you want, you can add mac-roman-mac.

<master file>: t, if the variable is contained in the main file,
the file containing the preamble etc. "<path to f>/<f>" in the other
case. <f> must be the name of the main file (the suffix .tex
omitted) and <path to f> a sequence of directories sucht that
TeX can find it.

BTW. I also have

%% !TEX encoding = MacOSRoman
%!TEX root = <master file>

at the beginning of my latex files, so that TeXShop works.
