Fahd,
Have you tried changing scope="request" in following line
<tiles:importAttribute name="title" scope="page" /> ?
I am looking at "Struts in Action" book co-authored by Ted Husted,
"<tiles:importAttribute/> tag imports all of the Tiles context attributes
into page context: " .
So, after this, you can access the attribute named "title" through page
context.
