That's a different requirement.  Personally I think that not liking something is not a good reason to not use it - it does what you want without building something custom.

If the requirement is to include content from a page without using an iframe, off the top of my head i can think of 2 approaches:

1)  Make an AJAX request to the page and use selectors to grab the content you want.
2)  (Assuming AEM 6 or above) You could use a Sightly class coupled with JSoup and grab the page content and render it out using selectors again.  This would be cacheable whereas #1 would not be.

You can use the "External" component under the "General" group.  This will create an iframe with the content from the URL.

I've tried that ... but I don't like the idea of an iframe.  I'm really looking for something that you can include the source code from the file into my current page.
