No; this cannot work with LaTeX2HTML.

That is part of the design of how LaTeX2HTML handles jobs.
It needs to know *at the very beginning* (i.e. before any macros are even
looked at) precisely which files are to be input into a job.

The \input and \include commands are handled by the early call to  texexpand ,
which also handles the {htmlonly} and {latexonly} environments to create
a single large text-string which will subsequently be scanned and refined
to give the final HTML pages.

You cannot later add more material from an extra file by expanding a macro.
(The exception proving this rule is to add a .bbl bibliography.  :^)


Hope this helps,
