Ok, I will not do the import.

Without it I naively do not see how beans defined as part of the
expiring-password-flow can be made aware of beans known to the
password-authn-flow since there is no parent/child context relationship.

So I think I will need to instantiate my own connection (pool) and use
it rather than re-using the existing pool.

Ah. Got it. Thanks.
