Thank you very much for your efforts and the information.  As it
is not obvious (at least for me), that included files have to be
included, would you mind to insert that information into the info
docs for multi-file documents of for that function?

Sorry, this was not as precise as it should have been.

Use this scenario and do something like `touch figure.eps' or
`mkdir figures && touch figure.eps' or even both.  Now open
`slave-file.tex' and try to insert one of the figures by
evaluating `C-c RET includegraphics'.  AUCTeX offers me then a
completion list (BTW how can I configure this list of possible
completions?):


Click button2up on a completion to select it.
Type M-v or prior to move to this buffer, for keyboard selection.

Possible completions are:
AMLogo                    boulebleue-fondblanc      metagreen
beamer-icsi-logo          boulerouge-fondblanc      metalgray
beamer-knight1            bouleverte-fondblanc      overlay
beamer-knight1-mask       but                       overlay0
beamer-knight2            button                    overlay1
beamer-knight2-mask       d12                       overlay10
beamer-knight3            degrade-base              overlay2
beamer-knight3-mask       degrade-blanc-bleu        overlay3
beamer-knight4            dice                      overlay4

There is no offering for `figure'.  In `master-file.tex', I can
choose one of my personal figures.  However, if I touched both
files, I have the option to choose only one of the files that
carry both the same name, but are located in different
directories.  I have the vague idea, that I've read an old thread
on that issue somewhere and that you and other developers of
AUCTeX had come to a conclusion that I can't remember right now.
Anyway, this is not that huge problem, as the situation of
identically named figures might not be that probable.

On the other hand, I could choose, e.g. `overlay', but the TeX
document then won't compile.  But this might be a problem of my
LaTeX installation and does not matter here anyway.

However, the feature that I miss, is to be able to select figures
(in my case), that reside in the same directory hierarchy as my
document, from included TeX files, that do _not_ reside in the
same directory as the master file.
