Yes, you can nest tiles. One example would be...
Given this base definition...
<!-- Main page layout. Defines the welcome view. -->
<definition name="tile:template.main.layout"
path="/jsp/common/layout.jsp">
<put name="page.title" value="application.title" />
<put name="page.header" value="/jsp/common/header.jsp" />
<put name="page.body" value="/jsp/content/welcome.jsp"/>
<put name="page.footer" value="/jsp/common/footer.jsp" />
<put name="page.snoop" value="/jsp/common/snoop.jsp"/>
</definition>
And this extension which uses employeeList.jsp as the body...
<!-- Display list of employees using the person table component. -->
<definition name="tile:employee.list"
extends="tile:template.main.layout">
<put name="page.body"
value="/jsp/content/employeeList.jsp"/>
</definition>
And this as the implementation of employeeList.jsp...
<%@ taglib uri='/tags/struts-tiles' prefix='tiles' %>
<%@ taglib uri='/tags/struts-bean' prefix='bean' %>
<%@ taglib uri='/tags/struts-html' prefix='html' %>
<div align="right">
<html:link action="Welcome">Home</html:link>
</div>
<p/>
<bean:message key="employee.list.text"/> <p/>
<tiles:insert definition="tile:component.person.table">
<tiles:put name="people" beanName="requestDataKey"/>
</tiles:insert>
Which inserts the "tile:component.person.table" tile which is defined as...
<!-- Component for building a person table. -->
<definition name="tile:component.person.table"
path="/jsp/common/personTable.jsp">
<!-- This is merely a placeholder attribute. The page using the
person table component
is responsible for putting a list of
edu.vanderbilt.mis.bean.Person objects in the
tiles scope when inserting this component. -->
<put name="people"/>
</definition>
