I'm not completely sure I follow. Can you post some code snippets?

We had this problem also. The way we solved it was to have a few different options for form configuration.
There is essentially 1 Tile for content in our pages that does an include on a JSP. The rest of the framework gets built from xml files so that developers don't have to deal with styling.
Normally, a <h:form /> wraps all the Tiles, but occassionally, you need two forms inside your content JSP, so you can use a Tiles parameter to turn off the wrapping form.

Hmmm. Well I better figure this out because the application I am going to eventually be porting over an existing application to JSF that will require this!
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.
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.

Is it possible to create a form submit button (with htmlCommandLink or whatever) outside the scope of the <h:form> that is submits. Sounds crazy I know but consider this scenario...
We have a Tiles application. In this Tiles application there is a "navigation" tile on the left and a "content" tile on the right. The navigation tile has action links that are related to the current view in the content tile. Sometimes an action link in the navigation tile will submit a form that is defined in the content tile. In the current Struts/Tiles/JSP implementation this easily achieved through some simple JavaScript onclick stuff. How can this same approach be implemented in JSF? I thought about just continuing down the JavaScript road but I wasn't sure what pitfalls I might run into.
