title: .tex files not found when placed in a folder declared in TEXINPUTS
body: <p>I have a set of documents based on a LaTeX template. Every document has its own folder, as following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>docs-folder
   |-doc #1
   |-doc #2
   ...
   |-doc #n
   |-texmf
     |-tex
     |-bibtex
     |-fonts
     |-docs
     |-misc
       |-logo.jpg
       |-acronyms.tex
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wrote the template on my own, and, for every document (from #1 to #n) it loads the files <code>logo.jpg</code> and <code>acronyms.tex</code> with <code>\includegraphics{logo.jpg}</code> and <code>\input{acronyms.tex}</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The path ..\docs-folder\texmf is set as a project root in MikTeX, and the local texmf tree is recognized properly, excluding the <code>misc</code> folder.</p>
  
  <p>So, the path <code>..\docs-folder\texmf\misc</code> is set as the value of the TEXINPUTS environment variable (under Windows). This is done in order to avoid an unwanted replication of the two files.</p>
  
  <p>What happens is that, when I compile one of the documents, the file <code>acronyms.tex</code> is not found, while the <code>logo.jpg</code> is correctly found by PDFLaTeX.</p>
  
  <p>I have no wonder why the acronyms.tex file is not loaded.</p>
