I'm not familiar with API or ISAPI, but I just use includes in PHP.
However, if your server doesn't have PHP installed... :

Nope.
You could pre-process though, as explained in the link I gave:
http://allmyfaqs.net/faq.pl?Include_one_file_in_another
That way you do all the including at home, and voila, the result is an
entire website with navigation on every page.

Yup - except for that (IS)API stuff, but I don't think I needed to
understand that ;-)
BTW - are you sure your server doesn't have PHP installed or SSI
enabled?
