This is possible without problem. Just start your session in every script
and forward the session id from your frameset (which is probably the first
page to be called by the user) to each frame:
frames.inc
----------
<?
// start session here
// ...
<frameset cols="350,*" rows="*" frameborder="1">
<frame src="left.php?<?= SID; ?>" name="left" frameborder="1">
<frame src="main.php?<?= SID; ?>" name="main" frameborder="1">
</frameset>
?>
Make sure to put the session start code at the top of EVERY page.
