In theory, if what you mean is transferring some of the heat of compression to the Fuel, it makes sense. Cooler air can be compressed further, and adds efficiency. The Thermodynamics are beyond me, I'm more a mechanical sort, and tend to agree that running Fuel through or even around the second hottest part of the engine, seems problematic.
Intercooler?
