I have try a lot of possibilities with Tiles, but never this one ;-).
You are facing the same problem than with <iterate> tag, because <put> tag
implements 'BodyTag'. It does so to be able to read its body. In fact, only tags
needing to read their body implements 'BodyTag'. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to use include() method in such body (which is what <get> or <insert>
does).
This is a limitation from jsp1.1.
To resume, you can't insert or get a page inside the body of a <put> tag.
