But I only want to use the field group on specific template files.

I’ve created a new php file acf-deals.php and uploaded it to the /php-includes/ directory in the root directory. It includes the following code:

<?php

if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):

acf_add_local_field_group(array(
	'key' => 'group_deal1',
	'title' => 'Deal One (displayed on homepage)',
	'fields' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'field_5c66e017f8359',
			'label' => 'Title',
			'name' => 'deal_title_one',
			'type' => 'text',
			'instructions' => '(max. 100 characters)',
			'required' => 0,
			'conditional_logic' => 0,
			'wrapper' => array(
				'width' => '',
				'class' => 'deals-title',
				'id' => '',
			),
			'default_value' => '',
			'placeholder' => '',
			'prepend' => '',
			'append' => '',
			'maxlength' => 100,
		),
		array(
			'key' => 'field_5c6d43781bcb1',
			'label' => 'Deal or Discount',
			'name' => 'discount_deal_or_special_one',
			'type' => 'radio',
			'instructions' => '',
			'required' => 0,
			'conditional_logic' => array(
				array(
					array(
						'field' => 'field_5c66e017f8359',
						'operator' => '!=empty',
					),
				),
			),
			'wrapper' => array(
				'width' => '',
				'class' => '',
				'id' => '',
			),
			'choices' => array(
				'Discount' => 'Discount',
				'Deal' => 'Deal',
			),
			'allow_null' => 1,
			'other_choice' => 0,
			'default_value' => '',
			'layout' => 'vertical',
			'return_format' => 'value',

			'type' => 'textarea',
			'instructions' => '(max. 600 characters)',
			'required' => 0,
			'conditional_logic' => array(
				array(
					array(
						'field' => 'field_5c66e017f8359',
						'operator' => '==empty',
					),
				),
			),
			'wrapper' => array(
				'width' => '',
				'class' => 'deals-description',
				'id' => '',
			),
			'default_value' => '',
			'placeholder' => '',
			'maxlength' => 600,
			'rows' => '',
			'new_lines' => '',
		),
		array(
			'key' => 'field_5c66e0d4f835b',
			'label' => 'Regular price',
			'name' => 'regular_price_one',
			'type' => 'number',
			'instructions' => '',
			'required' => 0,
			'conditional_logic' => 0,
			'wrapper' => array(
				'width' => '',
				'class' => 'deals-regular-price',
				'id' => '',
			),
			'default_value' => '',
			'placeholder' => '',
			'prepend' => '$',
			'append' => '',
			'min' => '',
			'max' => '',
			'step' => '',
		),
		array(
			'key' => 'field_5c66e130f835c',
			'label' => 'Discounted price / deal price',
			'name' => 'discounted_price_one',
			'type' => 'number',
			'instructions' => '',
			'required' => 0,
			'conditional_logic' => 0,
			'wrapper' => array(

			),
			'default_value' => '',
			'placeholder' => '',
			'prepend' => '$',
			'append' => '',
			'min' => '',
			'max' => '',
			'step' => '',
		),
		array(
			'key' => 'field_5c703c1fd5851',
			'label' => 'Valid until',
			'name' => 'valid_until_one',
			'type' => 'date_picker',
			'instructions' => '',
			'required' => 0,
			'conditional_logic' => 0,
			'wrapper' => array(
				'width' => '',
				'class' => '',
				'id' => '',
			),
			'display_format' => 'm/d/Y',
			'return_format' => 'm/d/Y',
			'first_day' => 1,
		),
	),
	'location' => array(
		array(
			array(
				'param' => 'post_type',
				'operator' => '==',
				'value' => 'post',
			),
			array(
				'param' => 'post_format',
				'operator' => '==',
				'value' => 'aside',
			),
		),
		array(
			array(
				'param' => 'post_format',
				'operator' => '==',
				'value' => 'status',
			),
		),
	),
	'menu_order' => 1,
	'position' => 'acf_after_title',
	'style' => 'default',
	'label_placement' => 'top',
	'instruction_placement' => 'label',
	'hide_on_screen' => '',
	'active' => 1,
	'description' => '',
));

endif;

?>

I’ve added this code to my single-aside.php file:

<?php get_template_part( '/php-includes/acf-deals.php', 'acf-deals' ); ?>

Should that not work?
