Is this what you are looking for? It works with either \include or \input.

%root file
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,plainpages=false]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\include{file1}
\include{file2}
\end{document}

%file1.tex-----
\section{Introducing Fractions}\label{sec:introducingfractions}
See also section  \ref{sec:discussion}, \nameref{sec:discussion}, on page \pageref{sec:discussion}. 
[...]


%file2.tex----
\section{Discussion}
Read first section \ref{sec:introducingfractions}, \nameref{sec:introducingfractions},  on page \pageref{sec:introducingfractions}

I hope this helps.
