Does that cover it?

Mostly. You might also throw in:
4) The Flex may bat or run, but only for the DP. In this case, the DP has left the game (but re-entry rule still applies).
And technically, if the Flex is batting for the DP, then you are down to a 9-player lineup and, in that case, you CAN have one without the other.
