In JSP 1.1, you can only use <jsp:include> on the top level in a page,
not nested within the body of other action elements. This limitation is
due to the way the underlying Servlet API deals with the response when
including another resource combined with how JSP buffers the response
body. Hopefully this limitation will be lifted in the next version of
the specs.
One way around it is to write your own include custom action, that
makes a new HTTP request to the target resource (using an HttpURLConnection)
and writes the response body to the parent's JspWriter.
