Have you tried to use a definition that uses a jsp file that does a
conditional include according to a given parameter?
<definition name="choose.def" extends="base.def">
<put name="header" value="/header.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/choose.jsp"/> <-----
<put name="footer" value="/footer.jsp"/>
</definition>
----> choose.jsp
<c:import url='/WEB-INF/com/website/tiles/choose/${request.choose}'/>
