?? I am saying that you shouldn't think of \title and \maketitle here.

Your report should have a title ... a single title for the whole report, 
nothing to do with chapter title pages!

I consider this wrong, better 

    \include{frontmat}

and `frontmat.tex' contains \maketitle.

What is this good for? I expect something like \include{production}.

I think this should be in a file `backmat.tex' that you should \include(only).
