Additional Information
When using the %run magic command, the execution context differs within an ArcGIS Pro project from where it would be if initializing a standalone notebook environment and can't reliably be located via relative paths. To call with %run, a full path should be specified, specifically in the format of double backslashed paths like '%run "C:\\Users\\username\\Documents\\ArcGIS\\Projects\\nb-run-across-files\\Notebook1.ipynb'. The run command does not accept raw strings (r-prefix strings) and specifically requires the double-backslash format. With that format, it can be used in the desired workflow.Steps to Reproduce
