Correct. JSP, ASP, PHP...they can all do what you're looking for.
PS: There IS a tag to include content.
It is called iframe
It is called iframe
I did not consider an iframe for this question because of the nature of the include. I suppose it would work (no reason it shouldn't), but I would not use an iframe for the header/menu of a page...I'd use an include file.
If we take the comment
"So your saying in HTML there is no tag to include the contents of other HTML Page."
The answer could be iframe :)

You are correct...I misspoke because a) I was focused on the context of the request, and b) I don't generally consider iframe to be a solution. (my own personal bias against frames and their kin)
The <iframe> tag would be able to do the requested work. Future readers can see more information about that concept here:

I recommend against using them as a general rule, and would still stand by my response here given the context of the request.

Sure - I completely agree. If you have access to server side processing, iframes should be avoided.
That said, I am considering using them myself on my own site to be able to control bulk download - e.g. if you are not human, you do not get the iframe with the content
