Derw, Having a way to generate an aggregate table of contents for a set of pages without transcluding the text of those pages could be useful. I don't believe it has been written; as far as I know this would be the first magic word[1] in MediaWiki that parses the text of another wikipage and outputs some function of that in the current page.
Note that a common workaround is to make such a table of contents by hand, not to make it too finely grained, and to update it by hand when subpages change. See for instance the [[HIG]] header.
