Yes you can. If you read through the code long enough, you will find
that the template files are read into and stored within the template
object. The following are some snippets from some code I wrote to do
what you are looking for. 

# initialize the template object
$template = new Template ($Config->TemplateDir, $Config->UnknownTags);
$template->halt_on_error = 'report';
$template->set_file (array ('homepage'     => 'homepage.html', 
		            'listing'      => 'listing.html',
		            'detail'       => 'detail.html',
		            'register'     => 'register.html',
		            'recoverpw'    => 'recoverpassword.html',
		            'changepw'     => 'changepassword.html',
		            'memberdata'   => 'memberdata.html',
		            'editevent'    => 'editevent.html',
		            'editsched'    => 'editsched.html',
                            'edittable'    => 'edittable.html',
		            'editdatelist' => 'editdatelist.html',
		            'editinfobox'  => 'editinfobox.html',
		            'eventsingle'  => 'eventsingle.html',
			    'header'       => 'header.incl',
		            'info'         => 'info.incl'));

# preload some common times to put on a page
$template->set_var ('SYSTEMINFOBOX', $infobox->render_html ('system'));
$template->set_var (array ('TODAY'       => date ('n/j'),
			   'TODAYDOW'    => date ('l'),
			   'SELF'        => $SELF));
$template->parse ('HEADER', 'header');
$template->parse ('INFO', 'info');

This will allow the orignal template file to contain {HEADER} and
{INFO} as tags to include the header.incl and info.incl. Almost all
the other template files have these tags within them.

Hope this helps.
