Chitin+Hydrocarbons=Skeleton?

I was wondering, could the use of chitin (assuming it's composed the same as in insect exoskeletons) combined with hydrocarbons feasibly make a working endoskeleton? I know that chitin could be used as a more flexible, power-hungry bone alternative, and in the world of Snaiad, the organisms had an endoskeleton using Hydrocarbons resembling extremely hard wood. I would like to know if a combination of the two could form a working endoskeleton? What I mean by this is, a skeleton made of Chitin reinforced by Hydrocarbons throughout in specific places.
