 have a look at how your document class loads the toc, then emulate that 
using your own macro, loading your file instead. Please be aware that 
\tableofcontents initialtes the creating of the toc files, so that needs 
to be handled as well.

BTW I would think most of what you are asking for might be doable in the 
memoir class especially if your are using a master file and have the 
chapters in seperate files.
