There are two kinds of inclusion in JSP -- compile time and run time. Compile time
inclusion (<%@ include file="....." %>) works like an #include in C or C++, and
incorporates the text of the included file into the page you are compiling. That's
what you should be using for the case above to work.
The <jsp:include> element is used to include a *separate* JSP page (or servlet) at
runtime -- because it's separate, you cannot refer to variables in one from the
other. This is more like server-side-includes supported by most web servers.
