You can use your own template for flatpages, see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/flatpages/?from=olddocs#flatpage-templates Just make that menu a separate template and include it wherever you want. Of course your flatpages template and your other templates can inherit from the same base where the menu is included.
I don't know what you mean by "place these variables ( db queries)"? Anyway if your menu is generated from a database and it won't change often it's a good idea to wrap such template code in a cache tag, especially if you make manny queries to generate that menu.
