I'm not with Sun, but I am part of the group that defines the JSP
spec. The behavior for nested includes has been discussed, and the
decision was to always interpret a relative path (one that doesn't
start with a slash) relative to the file where the include directive
is used. So, Tomcat's behavior seems to be incorrect. You should be
able to use <%@ include file="z.jsp" %>. Which version of Tomcat is
this? I have a feeling that it's been corrected and works as it
should in 3.2.1.
I will also ask that this gets documented in the upcoming JSP 1.2 spec.
