I'm trying to do something with Tiles like this:

  <put name="header" value="/tiles/header.jsp">
  <put name="footer" value="/tiles/footer.jsp">
  <put name="title" value="${title}"/>

<definition name=".nestedLayout" extends=".mainLayout">
  <put name="body" value="/tiles/nestedLayout.jsp"/>

<definition name=".nested1" extends=".nestedLayout">
  <put name="title" value="nested page"/>

I am not sure what is going on here, Bill, but it looks like you mean to 
have something like the following?

<definition name=".mainLayout" page="/tiles/mainLayout.jsp">
 <put name="header" value="/tiles/header.jsp">
 <put name="footer" value="/tiles/footer.jsp">
 <put name="title" value="${title}"/>
 <put name="body" value="${body}"/>
</definition>
<definition name=".nestedLayout" extends=".mainLayout">
 <put name="body" value="/tiles/nestedLayout.jsp"/>
 <put name="body" value="${nestedBody}"/>
</definition>
That is, it looks like you want to override rather than extend the 
definition?  Is that right?
