Is there a way to get around the issue of a book not allowing the same file more than once?

Sorry, not a good answer. Let me elaborate. As I understand it, you want to include the same content multiple times in a book. FrameMaker might make that tricky unless you have, as has already been suggested (Monica?), multiple book files with different names but with the same content.

If you follow this approach, it should all work and only leave you with the issue of being confident that the included content is always identical. However, you only want to have to edit that content in one place. Hence a master document for the multiply included content, and some convenient means outside FrameMaker that ensures that edits to the master content are always propagated to multiple included clones.

Gets you around using text insets, although I'd probably try that also if the cloned content is short.
