> I've hit a small but annoying limitation with nesting layout-definition tags.
> Lets say I create a new layout-definition file (/layout/special.jsp)  that 
> renders the /layout/default.jsp definition like so:
> <layout-definition>
>   <layout-render name="/layout/default.jsp">
>     <layout-component name="contents">
>      <div id="imspecial">
>         ${somethingSpecial} <%-- comming from a layout-component in enclosing 
> tag--%>
>       </div>
>     </layout-component>
>   </layout-render>
> </layout-definition>
> This works only in the situation where the enclosing tag only lays out the 
> "somethingSpecial" component. There is no way to override or layout any of 
> the "default.jsp" components such as header or footer.
> My suggestion (and patch) is that when a layout-render tag is within a 
> layout-definition tag, the context of the layout-definition should override 
> the context of the layout-render tag. This would move layout-components and 
> parameters "downstream" into embedded layout-definitions until one of them 
> renders it. I find that it makes layout-definitions  easier to "extend".
> This might not find within the tags initial intent. If such an improvement is 
> not possible, I'd like to know what are the best-practices when nesting 
> layouts or event an alternative solutions to nesting...
