The flatpages view is not provided the context which includes 'posts'.
IMO you are correct with the {% load posts %} technique because it is
entirely as result of the template you are using that requires you display
that information -- if that makes sense.
In other words it's not because of the flatpage you are loading but rather
the template you are using which necessitates the 'posts' being used.
