Jonathan, Check the list archives for this solution. The trick had something to do with attributes having to be nested to be seen in any included tiles. To be more clear, does nav.jsp actually do a tiles:insert or does it just try to do the tiles:getAsString tag by itself? I vaguely remember that you could try and nest the "put title" inside the other put and it MIGHT (AGAIN, check the archives for a working solution) work. I know I'm probably NOT answering your question directly but I AM pointing you to where you can find some related solutions.
