IMO, there is a much better way than \includeonly because, rather than having to (un)commenting code, you just have to click on the desired file (or files as when you want to compare/move/align stuff in different chapters). In other words, more Mac than LaTeX. Moreover, the structure can include the ancillaries. See <http://tug.org/pracjourn/2010-2/schremmer.html>.  

Following is the folder-file structure---which depends a lot on \jobname for its ease of use. For an instance: <http://freemathtexts.org/InProgress/RAFv7.1/>
