present perfect with if, after, before

Recently, I noticed that present perfect tense can be used in before, after, if sentences.

Can I put ''tonight'', ''tomorrow'' in the below sentences?

1, If I have finished my homework tonight, I will go shopping with you.

2, Before she has entered the classroom tomorrow, you will see lots of students' parents in the classroom.

3, If she has eaten lunch tomorrow, I will not go eating lunch with her.

The simple answer to your question is 'yes'. though all of your sentences seem a little contrived. These are a little less unnatural: If I've finished my homework by seven this evening, I'll go shopping with you.
