If you're transcluding from a wiki that allows "scary" transclusion (That's seriously what the software calls it.), then yes if you use the "raw" magic word. Raw transclusion transcludes first, then expands, allowing parameters.

For example:

to transclude from the English Community Central's Template: namespace.

to transclude from the User: namespace. Substitute any other namespace for User: if you like.

Scary transclusion cannot be optimized for proxies, so it's considered very expensive. At Wikia, only the various community central wikis allow scary transclusion.
