I had not known that was possible.  No the Wrapper does not support this.

The wrapper.conf file is loaded when the service is started, so yes, you 
can modify it before starting the service and the changes will take 
effect.  An easy way to do this is to use include files to create a 
cascading config file.  This way you simply create the include file and 
the main wrapper.conf stays unchanged.  Much easier from batch files etc.
