You can use extend on the mainbody portion such that logon.page.layout extends home.page.layout that way you only change the bodycontent attribute. Basically one extend on the main layout definitions and another extend for the body definitions. You cannot use multiple inheritance - yet.
If the left and right side are constant - i.e. the definition will always be the left and right portals then they could be promoted to the site.mainLayout and the layout in mainPageLayout.jsp would include the left and right portal jsp. This will allow the only variable attribute per page to be bodycontent.

How many levels of "extends" can you have within tiles? I've attached a tiles def file (that works), but I would like to see if it is possible to do it differently so that I don't duplicate code in the xml file. Here is the scenario... site.mainLayout defines the overall page. The "mainbody" portion will vary depending on the page called. As in the xml file, mainbody will display a group of portals on the left and right side of the screen with a larger html section in the middle addressed by "bodycontent". The problem (as I see it) is that to get this to work I need to duplicate code in both "home.page.layout" and "logon.page.layout". Is it possible to do an additional "extends" somewhere so that will eliminate the duplication of code so that a scope change (what the users want to see) can be addressed in a single location of the xml file?
