Outside of ui:define "body" is actually the original state of the JSF 1.2
template -- I had moved it around while trying to debug the problem, and
forgot to move it back when writing up this email.
Are you saying that if I have ui:param outside of ui:define "body", it
should work for files included in ui:define "body"?
=========== What somepage.xhtml really looked like under JSF 1.2
=================
<ui:decorate template="/pages/include/
template.xhtml"
...>
<ui:param name="sourcePage" value="#{sourcePageBeanExpression}" />
<ui:define name="body">
=========== somepage.xhtml =================
