Is it possible to include files outside the 'templates' directory?

I do not mean the <%header%> or <%footer%>, I know how to include them, but would like to have a file that can be incorporated into all my pages that links builds PLUS the other pages that I develop myself outside of links.

I would like to use SSI on my own pages, but am aware there is a problem with SSI with cgi generated pages, so rather than keep two sets of files, I want to develop one file and call it as follows:-

1. All Links pages
<%include /path/to/abc.txt%>

2. Other pages (non 'links')

< SSI include directive /path/to/abc.txt> (I can't seem to use the example I wanted to here for obvious reasons!).

Is this possible OR would I need to change the Templates Directory. (I cannot use SSI to call files located under the CGI Bin Directory).

Thanks in advance,

Regards,


Clint
