<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I thought about doing something similar, but not exactly as you suggested. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">With the totcount package, you register the counters you'll want to keep track of with the command </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">\regtotcounter[auxfile=first.tc]{thm}</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">It will create the counter thm@totc and set it to zero. At the end of the run, the counter is written into first.tc. I need to inform this file name to the next lecture.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">So, inside the InPreamble, I registered all theorem counters.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Two problems resulted:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">1. I got a lot of "!Missing number, treated as zero" errors. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">2. If I ignore the errors and finish the processing, the total counters of the environs that are NOT used in the document are written in first.tc, all set to zero, as expected. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">The problem is that the counters that ARE used are again incremented every time the file is processed until all cross-references are right.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">This time, I inserted the \setcounter{defn}{\totvalue{defn}}</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">command in the *.inc file.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> For the second issue, can you wrap your preamble code in AtBeginDocument{}</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> and, if so, does that allow ams-theorem to load first and your code to</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> execute correctly?</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">That seems to work. Thanks for pointing out the command.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">So, I inserted </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">\regtotcounter[auxfile=\currfilebase.tc]{thm}, etc</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">in the appropriate places in the *.inc file. The command \currfilebase comes from the currfile package. It just contains the base file name, without the extension.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">And then, if I know that in the next lecture the Definition and Exercise environs are used, inserting in the InPreamble</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">\AtBeginDocument{\setcounter{defn}{\totvalue{defn}} </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;"> \setcounter{xca}{\totvalue{xca}} }</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">does the trick. The counters are set after all the rest of the preamble is processed.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Thank you.</p>
