FM can only import entire flows as text insets. You have to split
the file into multiple named flows, and import each flow separately.
A better approach is to create one or more files that contain the
texts you wish to share among multiple files. You can then import
texts from those "container" files into each file you need them in.
You put the container files in one location available to all your
"normal" FM files, and then import texts (flows) from that location.

Was that clear? (easier to draw a picture than explain in words)
