One more suggestion: we have a similar situation, with
reused files, running headers that change, plus
variables and conditions that need to be flipped. We

you call a chapter) and book. This is necessary as some documents are
not in a book but stand alone.
So, when using documents in different books, you may
When including a FrameMaker file in more than one book, you need to pay
attention to any differences between the books, such as:
* layout and formats
