A FrontPage include page must be HTML, also it is only
included/updated when:
1) The containing page is saved
2) The web is published or recalculated (Open the web in FrontPage
then
Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks).
3) The include page is saved within an open FrontPage web.
This would make it impractical for your purposes.
