First of all you may want to check DirectX (7) samples -- I
think there's flocking demo. It's really simple, but maybe
will give you some hints.
Another thing worth checking is the following page

Also, as Ken pointed out -- usually this should be enough to force
each 'element' to obey several simple rules (follow the
leader, avoid collisions etc).
