No because they aren't really externals. The way we use this is that documentation has their own project. They generate the doc deliverables into a folder which is a co of a folder from the development tree doc folder. (It sounds like externals should work, but they don't. I don't recall what the problem was, because that is what I tried first.)

Granted this can be down without the nested checkouts with either a batch file that copies the generated output to the dev tree or just moving it manually... but this setup has made it very simple with no extra steps for the doc people... they gen the help in robohelp then they commit.
