RE: nested tiles:insert tags
Well the first thing I would suggest is that are you using a Struts Template
of Definition. I quick cursory glance looks like if you are just
using Tiles as a replacement for <jsp:include>. It looks messy.
<tiles:getAsString> does work very well. It returns a bean property just like
a toString() method.
