[OS X TeX] Setting project root

I'm starting my PhD Thesis and trying to work out setting up a multi-part
document. A small test is causing problems:



    \documentclass[12pt]{report}
    \begin{document}
        \include{Chapter1/one.tex}
        \include{Chapter2/two.tex}
        \include{Chapter3/three.tex}
    \end{document}


with


    documentclass[12pt]{report}
    \begin{document}
        \chapter{Testing 123}
        Well here's my chapter one!
    \end{document}

and the root appropriately set gives me this:

    This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211 (Web2C 7.3.7)
    (./test.tex{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg}
    LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
    Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german,
ngerman, nohyphenation, loaded.
    (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/report.cls
    Document Class: report 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX document class
    (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/size12.clo)) (./test.aux)
    No file Chapter1/one.tex.tex.
    No file Chapter2/two.tex.tex.
    No file Chapter3/three.tex.tex.
    (./test.aux (./Chapter1/one.tex.aux) (./Chapter2/two.tex.aux)
    (./Chapter3/three.tex.aux)) )
    No pages of output.
    Transcript written on test.log.



But if I chop off the .tex's, as in:

    \include{Chapter1/one}

I get:

    ...
    (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/report.cls
    Document Class: report 2001/04/21 v1.4e Standard LaTeX document class
    (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/size12.clo)) (./test.aux
    (./Chapter1/one.tex.aux) (./Chapter2/two.tex.aux)
(./Chapter3/three.tex.aux))
    (./Chapter1/one.tex

    ! LaTeX Error: Can be used only in preamble.

    See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
    Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
    ...            


What am I doing wrong?



Cheers

Sam
