Not out of the box AFAIK.

It would help to know the type of inclusion: are these C-style
#include files? or are they LaTeX with \input{filename} style
includes? And what tooling are you using to generate the resulting
file you want to view?

My first inclination would be to lean on make(1) to generate the
output file based on the input files (updating based on their
changes), then create an autocmd (`:help autocmd` and `:h
BufWritePost`) that runs :make when you save and optionally loads the
results into a preview window.
