Something thats been discussed is the idea of having inheritance in the struts-
config, which I think achieves the same goal as what you're proposing.

I don't think theres a bug that covers struts-config inheritance - Bug 22600 
deals with form bean inheritance, but nothing else. If we were to adopt a 
similar approach to Tiles, using an "extends" attribute, adding that to the 
form-bean, forward and action-mapping elements. So for example

 <form-beans>

    <form-bean name="FormA" type="someDynaFormFlavour">
      <form-property name="property_1" type="java.lang.String"/>
      <form-property name="property_2" type="java.lang.String"/>
    </form-bean>

    <form-bean name="FormB" extends="FormA">
      <form-property name="property_2" type="java.lang.Integer"/>
      <form-property name="property_3" type="java.lang.String"/>
    </form-bean>

 </form-beans> 

 <global-forwards>

    <forward name="default"
             className="myPackage.MyForwardConfig"
             redirect="false"
             path="/"/>

    <forward name="myModuleB" extends="default"
             module="myModuleB"
             path="/myModuleB"/>

 </global-forwards> 

 <action-mappings>

    <action path="/initialPathA"
            type="myPackage.ActionA"
            name="FormA"
            scope="request"
            validate="false">
       <forward name="success" extends="default" path="/Abc.jsp"/>
    </action>

    <action path="/submitPathA" extends="/initialPathA"
            validate="true" input="/Abc.jsp">
       <forward name="switch" extends="myModuleB" path="/Def.jsp"/>
    </action>

 </action-mappings>
