Hi Riccardo, thank you for the clear and unambiguous answer... it settles a discussion I have had with a number of different folks while trying to understand if and how the various Google elements (Docs - Sites - Chart tools) could work together.
I had more or less come to the conclusion that what I was trying to achieve was not possible (at least for the present)... but it's good to get a clear answer. As you suggest I have been working at putting something together that can be hosted elsewhere... now all I have to do is get to grips with Javascript coding! Thanks again for your response.
