A method of installing a wellbore junction assembly in a well can include connecting at least two tubular strings to one opposite end of a tubular string connector with similarly dimensioned oriented connections, whereby the tubular strings are interchangeably connectable to the connector by the oriented connections. A wellbore junction assembly can include at least two tubular strings and a tubular string connector having opposite ends. Each of the tubular strings may be secured to one opposite end of the connector by oriented connections, whereby each of the tubular strings has a fixed rotational orientation relative to the connector. A well system can include a tubular string connector, each of first and second tubular strings being secured to the connector, and a support which reduces bending of the second tubular string which results from deflection of the second tubular string from one wellbore section into another wellbore section.

The wellbore junction assembly of claim 12, wherein a second flow control device opens in response to installation of the fifth tubular string in the third tubular string. 15. The wellbore junction assembly of claim 14, wherein the second flow control device selectively prevents and permits fluid communication through a longitudinal flow passage of the third tubular string. 16. A wellbore junction assembly, comprising: at least first and second tubular strings; anda tubular string connector having first and second opposite ends, and each of the first and second tubular strings being secured to the first opposite end by oriented connections, whereby each of the first and second tubular strings has a fixed rotational orientation relative to the connector, wherein a third tubular string is connected to the second opposite end of the connector, wherein a fourth tubular string is connected to the second opposite end of the connector, wherein the fourth tubular string comprises a seal bore, and wherein a fifth tubular string is sealingly received in the seal bore. 17. A well system, comprising: a tubular string connector having first and second opposite ends;first and second tubular strings secured to the first opposite end, the first and second tubular strings being disposed in separate intersecting wellbore sections;ends of third and fourth tubular strings connected to respective connections at the second opposite end, the fourth tubular string being disposed within the third tubular string;a first flow control device which selectively permits and prevents fluid flow through a longitudinal flow passage of the third tubular string; anda second flow control device which selectively permits and prevents fluid flow through a longitudinal flow passage of the fourth tubular string. 18. The well system of claim 17, wherein the first flow control device opens in response to insertion of a fifth tubular string into the fourth tubular string. 19. The well system of claim 17, wherein the second flow control device opens in response to insertion of a fifth tubular string into the third tubular string. 20. The well system of claim 19, wherein the first flow control device opens in response to insertion of the fifth tubular string through the second flow control device and into the fourth tubular string. 21. The well system of claim 17, wherein the second flow control device selectively permits and prevents fluid communication between the wellbore portions. 22. The well system of claim 17, wherein the first flow control device selectively permits and prevents fluid communication between the wellbore portions and the third tubular string.
