The algebraic method of separation of variables in the Dirac equation proposed by one of the present authors [Gravitation and Electromagnetism (U.P., Minsk, 1989) Issue 4, p. 156 (in Russian)] is developed for the case of the most general interaction of the Dirac particle in an external field, taking into account scalar, vector, tensor, pseudovector, pseudoscalar, and gravitation connections. The present work, which concludes this series of papers entitled "Dirac equation in external fields'' [J. Math. Phys. 32, 3184 (1991); 33, XXX (1992)] is dedicated to the investigation of the problem in the case of general orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, and allows the introduction of gravitation through the spinor connection and Lame's functions. Special consideration is given to the cases, when the generalized Lame's functions do not separate the variables multiplicatively (e.g., elliptic cylindrical, parabolic cylindrical, and oblate and prolate spheroidal coordinates). All the previous results and numerous results of other authors are particular cases of this investigation.
