Would a Mage of the Arcane Order be able to access their spellpool in the Flow?

I found myself wondering about how members of the Mage of the Arcane Order PrC accessed their spellpool, and were there any situations where you could not access this. In particular, I was wondering about access in the Flow or in other crystal spheres.

On one hand, there are no limitations on access described in the class write-up in the Complete Arcane. Since the Planes are now part of the standard setting, this implies that simply traveling to another plane won’t make you lose contact. However, the Flow is different – there, Clerics are unable to contact their gods. If the gods can’t get through, why would an order of spellcasters? (A foreign sphere where your order isn’t present is a similar problem.)

Any thoughts?

I would rule no if the wizard is in the Flow and yes in another crystal sphere but only if there is somewhere a similar order and the mage join the order.
Another possibility is that some high ranking wizard order the fellow mage to go in another sphere and create a new affiliated order (a nice possibility for adventure)
