I've updated the imported Illustrator file that I am using in After Effects with some new layers and other stuff, but the changes are not seen in my compositions. How can I get my compositions to recognize the changes?

You don't. It works as it is supposed to. Once such a file has been imported, AE only retains a link to the actual AI layer. It doesn't care what else happens in the file after that. You have to manually import your new layers and insert them where you need them.

The normal File --> Import will do just fine, I suppose?
