I used to have some books in which the book-level generated lists (TOC,
LOF, and LOT) were text insets in a container front-matter file. My
experience with that may or may not be applicable in your situation.

It always took two book updates to update the generated lists. That was
because when you generated/updated the book, FM updated the text insets
first, and then updated the generated lists. So I had to update a second
time to replace the text insets with the newly generated versions. 

HTH!
