Wrong. Each text inset (if it's from an FM file, not a text file) must
be a complete text _flow_, but a file can contain many flows. I have one
FM file that contains about 40 or 50 text flows used as text insets. 

If the snippets you're reusing are short, you can even put them in text
frames on a reference page.
