Back or Next screen in different fx files.

Question

I would like to build a simple application where a button to go for Next screen and back for Main screen.
First, the screens must be separated in different .fx files, for example Main.fx Second.fx. Then Main screen contains a button to go for the Second screen. Second screen contains a button to return for the Mains screen.
Main screen contains a simple text just to identify current screen, the same happens in Second screen, but the text should be "Second" or something else.
Is it possible?
Thanks,

Well, if I google javafx scene switch I can see a number of examples.
But since that's something I haven't tried yet, I just coded a little example of my own. Not exactly what you asked (all test code was on same file) but it is easy enough to adapt to your requirements.
function BaseSceneGenerator(): Scene
  return Scene
    width: 800
    height: 400
    fill: Color.LAVENDER
    content:
      VBox
        translateX: 50
        translateY: 50
        spacing: 50
        content:
function AddToScene(scene: Scene, node: Node): Void
  var container = scene.content[0] as Container;
  insert node into container.content;
var stage = Stage
     title: "Forum Test"
  scene: BaseSceneGenerator()
var scene1 = BaseSceneGenerator();
var scene2 = BaseSceneGenerator();
scene2.fill = Color.IVORY;
AddToScene(scene1,
  Text
    content: "This is the first scene.\nWelcome!"
    font: Font { name: "Arial Black", size: 48 }
    fill: Color.ORANGE
AddToScene(scene1,
  Button
    text: "Continue >>"
    action: function (): Void
      stage.scene = scene2;
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { hpos: HPos.RIGHT }
AddToScene(scene2,
  Text
    content: "Continuation\nof the tour"
    font: Font { name: "Arial Black", size: 72 }
    fill: Color.PURPLE
AddToScene(scene2,
  Button
    text: "<< Back"
    action: function (): Void
      stage.scene = scene1;
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { hpos: HPos.RIGHT }
stage.scene = scene1;Would be better to have the buttons exactly at the same stage position, but it is just a quick demo.
