Gee, I hope not.
'Have' as a causative verb expresses the idea that the person wants something to be done for them. Consider these,
Future Perfect
Ex: Most students will
have taken sixty credits by the time they graduate.
Ex: My brother will
have graduated Harvard before I enter school.
Ex: I will
have done my homework by Monday.
Passive Causative
Ex: Most students will
have sixty credits taken (from them) by the time they graduate.
Ex:
?My brother will
have Harvard graduated before I enter school.
Ex: I will
have my homework done by Monday.
Does that help?
