I'm not talking about anyting to do with modules cooperating or not. I'm just saying 
that the supplemental 
Struts configuration files (for Validator and Tiles) can be specified as a list, but 
the main struts-config 
cannot be. In my experience, many teams just want multiple configuration files, 
period. This gives people what 
they want (multiple configs), without giving them something else they might not want 
(Chinese walls within the 
application).

The purpose of a Tiles Definition is utilimately to include tiles, which means we need 
to specify a path to the 
tile. If we can mark some of the paths to be application-relative, then the modules 
can share tiles.

That would be cool, but it doesn't need to be in this release. 

Both the ActionMappings and the Definitions should support this type of extending in 
some future release 
(probably 1.2+).
