If we follow that logic too far, we would end up incorporating all of Michael Moorcock's oeuvre as well, because The Coming of the Terraphiles includes Captain Cornelius, who is clearly a version of Jerry Cornelius and thus an aspect of the Eternal Champion. (If I recall correctly, Moorcock has also strongly intimated that the Doctor was an aspect of the Eternal Champion, both in Terraphiles and elsewhere in his own work.)

The precedent of Iris Wildthyme (who appeared in various Paul Magrs works before her arrival in Doctor Who) would suggest that we could include Archibald Angelchrist, but not necessarily everyone and everything else from Mann's writings.
