Im working on just that typ of template right now. Its not that hard to implement.

If you change the original com_flexicontent/model/category.php

Code:

function getChilds()
	{
		$query = $this->_buildChildsquery();
		$this->_childs = $this->_getList($query);
//		$this->_childs = $this->_getList($query, $this->getState('limitstart'), $this->getState('limit'));
		
		$k = 0;
		$count = count($this->_childs);
		for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
		{
			$category =& $this->_childs[$i];
			$category->assigneditems 	= $this->_getassigned( $category->id );
			$category->subcats			= $this->_getsubs( $category->id );

			$k = 1 - $k;
		}
		return $this->_childs;
	}

Code:

function getChilds()
	{
		$query = $this->_buildChildsquery();
		$this->_childs = $this->_getList($query);
//		$this->_childs = $this->_getList($query, $this->getState('limitstart'), $this->getState('limit'));
		$id = $this->id;
		$this->_data = null;
		
		$k = 0;
		$count = count($this->_childs);
		for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
		{
			$category =& $this->_childs[$i];
			$category->assigneditems 	= $this->_getassigned( $category->id );
			$category->subcats			= $this->_getsubs( $category->id );
			$this->_id					= $category->id;
			$category->items			= $this->getData();
			$this->_data				= null;

			$k = 1 - $k;
		}
		$this->_id = $id;
		return $this->_childs;
	}

This code change will add the items to the categories variable for each subcategory.

And then in your subcategory template add something like this.

Code:

<?php foreach ($sub->items as $item) : ?>
			[url=<?php echo JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug) ); ?>]<?php echo $this->escape($item->title); ?>[/url]
		<?php endforeach; ?>
