You can add as *subpages* pages from the same tree starting from the 
*root* page, where you are - AFAIK you can't add from another domain and 
maybe from another tree.

It is a kind of shortcut - not to an individual page but subpages of a 
certain page.

Usage.

You need the same page content in several branches and the page has 
subpages.

You make a page, which takes the contents from certain page using 'Page 
properties'. Setting that page as mount page you can include subpages of 
that page.

If you include only the content you don't get subpages.
If you use shortcut you go another branch.

Ordinary solutions simple don't work!

Mount pages are needed when shortcut doesn't do the desired task.
I have needed it once. Use *only* when it is absolutely necessary!
