So you are suggesting Tiles be decoupled from Struts Action and Shale so that it can be compiled independent of these modules? Definite +1 and this was my impression all along as well.
As for top level project, I agree that Tiles probably belongs here but I'm not opposed. For me the main thing is that Tiles should be decoupled from the Action framework. MyFaces Tomahawk currently requires the full struts jar in order to provide Tiles support.
