\item Make sure the rest of the files, particularly the \path{.tex} file are in UTF8 or are at least in the same encoding.
If the files are in different encoding, you will discover errors with accented characters when you try to include them together.
Watch out for line endings. Linux, Windows, and OSX all use different line endings in text files.
