Here is a minimal example:
<http://ms.yccd.edu/~jb2/PickUp/minexample.zip> (8.7 KB)
Reminder: I am using TeX-Live 2009 in X11.
If I typeset "latex narrowhom.tex" with all the \includeonly (lines 52--56) commented out, there are no errors.
If I then uncomment \includeonly{ch_geom}, I get the errors
! LaTeX Error: No counter 'a' defined.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

l.183 \include{ch_numthry}
?
! LaTeX Error: No counter 'b' defined.

Type H <return> for immediate help.

I still get the same errors after replacing \setcounter with \pgfmathsetcounter in "ch_numthry.tex" (4 substitutions on 4 lines), and replace \addtocounter with \pgfmathaddtocounter (1 substitution).

If I use only \include (lines 175 and 182--185) in the minimal example main file "narrowhom.tex", and none of the \includeonly (lines 52--56), then how can I typeset only the chapter on which I'm presently working while keeping the cross references in all the chapters intact? I thought that's what \includeonly is for, but apparently I'm mistaken.
Thanks again everyone.
