Circular text flow?

Can I do this in FrameMaker 9.
I want to create a pamphlet/booklet that has a front and a back. In FM, it would be two pages, landscape with a text flow that looks like this:
4 | 1
-----
2 | 3
Where 1 is where the text flow starts, and 2 > 3 > 4 is the direction it continues. This document is printed double-sided, and then folded in half along the middle to create a booklet.
However, when I try to connect the text frames in that order, I get an error message that says:
"This connection is not possible. You may be trying to connect two text frames that would result in a circular test flow, or you may be trying to connect to a PostScript Code text flow."
I don't have a lot of experience messing around with text frames and text flow. Is what I want possible? Am I missing a step? Do I need to rename the Flow Tag in the Object properties dialog box?
TIA,
Nadine
