Sorry, but I don't follow you.  How is multi-file processing related
to a region file?

Here is an example which works perfectly with CVS GNU Emacs, current
CVS AUCTeX (AUCTeX 11.55 should do as well as there haven't been
changes to the source specials code AFAIR) and xdvi 22.84.3 (Xaw
toolkit):

Master file (master.tex):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
foo
\clearpage
\input{slave}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End: 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Slave file (slave.tex):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
bar

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "master"
%%% End: 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In both buffers `TeX-source-specials-mode' (toggle with `C-c C-t C-s')
should be activated.  When this is the case, the files can be
processed via `C-c C-c' and source specials will be included.

Now, when typing `C-c C-v' in either buffer I get to the right page in
xdvi.  And doing `C-mouse-1' on either page in xdvi I get to the right
buffers in Emacs.
