How about this ...
Make a command button on the main page but have it be hidden (with a
style I guess.)  Give it a meaningful id and use the new forceId
attribute.  Then have a button on your nav page that uses javascript
and getElementById to locate the button and "click" it.
 

I think I'll give this approach a shot and see how it works.
Another option might be to put the <h:form> tag in your top level
tiles layout page so both your nav page and your main page are part of
the same form.
HTH,

I thought about this approach but it could get messy when you get into 
multiple forms on a page.
