There are all kinds of connections between most of his written works. I remember reading somewhere that many of his stories supposedly take place on a different planes of existence, if that's the case, then really all of his stories are connected to The Dark Tower.

I also find connections like this really interesting. If done well they can add an extra layer to the books as a whole and as I am personally very interested in shamanism/metaphysics, I find the idea of stories taking place on different planes of existence very appealing. I just have to stop being lazy and finally get around to reading Part 3 of The Dark Tower I'm sure it's much better than "The Drawing Of The Three" which I felt was just really about introducing characters as I think TheVillain said earlier in this thread.
