Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say here. In the help, have you studied the subtopics in Home / Using FrameMaker 10 / Books and Long Documents / Conditional documents? The help may not be the best source of information about FM (see the archives for recommended 3rd-party resources), but studying that section should clarify this a bit for you.
