I'll take a crack it this: A bean with request scope persists until a response is sent back to the browser. In particular, if the jsp page in which such a bean is instantiated does a jsp:include or a jsp:forward, the bean persists, and this instance of it is available in successive pages. With page scope the bean would die on a jsp:forward; with a jsp:include, presumably, the bean would not be available in the included file, but would still be available when control returns to the original file.
