It works just fine, though “sharing the modules” is pain since all flexible layout “modules” (I call them blocks) are not easily thrown to different Custom Field group.

Thus I have single Custom Field Group with one field, the Flexible Layout Field with all of my blocks.

I use these theme files:

Layout.php

<?php
if (have_rows('layout_blocks')) {
    while (have_rows('layout_blocks')) {
        the_row();
        echo get_template_part("block", get_row_layout());
    }
}?>

include the layout.php on each page I need to, and then I simply have for each module or a block an own PHP file like:

block-header-left.php

<section class="header-left page-wrapper">
    <div class="container">
    	<h1><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></h1>
    	<div class="content"><?php the_sub_field('content'); ?></div>
    	<div class="clear"></div>
    </div>
</section>

Fetch data etc on each block as you would normally in PHP files.
