In Visio desktop, the Insert / Diagram Parts / Container allows you to choose from a number of pre-built container shapes. The most popular of these is the Cross-Functional Flowchart template which contains container shapes (the Swimlane and Separator shapes) within list shapes ( Swimlane List and Phase List), which are within another container shape ( CFF Container). There are a few examples of both container and list shapes in the Microsoft provided content in all versions of Visio desktop, and even in the subscription Visio for web.
