Yes and no.  It is possible to display multiple pages on one screen in SOME
browsers by using frames, in-line frames and layers.

However, browser support is patchy/inconsistent and you will have to use
workarounds/scripts to test for the different browsers.  That's where Server
Side Includes are better (IMHO) - they do not depend on the visitor's
browser.

See http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/index.html , particularly the
following elements (from the "Element Index"):

IFRAME
FRAME (and related elements)
ILAYER
LAYER
