My guess is that your child Rnw file was not copied to inst/doc during R CMD build or check. You may read the section 1.4 of the R-exts manual: http://cran.rstudio.com/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Writing-package-vignettes

To install any other files from > the vignettes directory, include a file vignettes/.install_extras which > specifies these as Perl-like regular expressions on one or more lines. (See > the description of the .Rinstignore file for full details.) So it seems you will need a .install_extras file to make sure the child Rnw file is copied along with the parent .Rnw. I do not think you have to obfuscate the path of the child Rnw file like ../../whatever/... but you do have to change its file extension if and only if you put it under the root directory vignettes/ (it should be fine if it is under a sub directory).
