i think Analysis and Elaboration will go through all the files in the project, but synthesis (and the rest of the compile) will only use what elaboration found to be necessary to compile the project. so your syntax should still be correct in the files that are in the project but not actually used in the design or else compilation will error out. the logic in the unused files won't show up in resource usage or anything.
