This is a documented feature of RefTeX:

,----
| 6.9 Problems and Work-arounds
| 
|     LaTeX commands
|     \input, \include, and \section (etc.) statements have to be first on
|     a line (except for white space).

Move \input{algebra} and \input{constructions} into single lines and
you should be done.
