Yes but if you need a file like "random.tex"
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/generic/genmisc/random.tex

i think it's not serious to try to change is location.

Why use \include instead \input before \begin{document} ?

\usepackage is for a package latex file (.sty ) \input is used for a  
tex file.

With my remark about completion in the LateXCommandCompletions thread,  
if you add   fileExt = "tex" in the LateXCommandCompletions.rb

I think that the problem vanishes.
