As far I have tried and considdering both JA Builder and Flexi Content create content of there own type, the answer would be no. But there is an work-around:

In Flexi Content create additional categories and use these to address them as secundaire categories to the item (content) you wish to add to a JA Builder page.

Then go to modules in your manager and create a module of type "FLEXIcontent – Universal Content". Give it a corresponding name and point it to one of the secundaire categories you have attached to your flexi-content item/content (this will show this category in this module. If you make sure every category only holds 1 item/content it will show this content as a single "article").

Now in JA Builder choose an Header block that comes clossest to what you would like it to look like (Headers are, as far I could check, the only blocks that can contain a module).
Click on [empty] and change its type from position to module and select the module you just created.
Modify the rest of the Header block as you like.

You have now included a Flexi Content Item, inside a module that is positioned inside an Header block inside the JA Builder page you have created.

Both JA Builder and Flexi Content should/could make this more easy by:

• JA Builder can create a ‘Custom Module Block’ that spans the whole width of the JA Builder Page alloweing users to include thier own modules.
• Flexi Content contains a module type that can select a specified Item. Instead of a category.
  Both combined could then integrade Flexi Content Items into JA Builder Page makeing dynamic content in JA Builder posible without the need to create a special block type for Flexi Content only.

With kind regards, Theo
