Latex include vs input

In the process of putting together my dissertation, I found that if I write sections in different files and combine the results in the main tex file using \include{file}, I would end up with wasteful whitespace due to pagebreaks between sections. Apparently, \include did a bit more than I wanted for Sections, but did the right thing for Chapters:

What does the trick is to use \input and manually place \clearpage between chapters. Another bonus of using \input is that it can be nested -- files that are \input can have \input as well.
