If you'/re starting from scratch with no knowledge of Tiles, I'd
recommend starting with Facelets or Clay. I have no experience with
either, but, as has been pointed out already, they are "native" JSF
technologies, whereas Tiles was conceived in a world without JSF and
the integration can be problematic. If you like Tiles I'd ask you to
check out the Standalone version that is currently in the sandbox. A
(mostly) working version is available and I am trying to push forward
with it. By the end of that process it will be much easier to use
Tiles with JSF, although still probably not seamless. Stay tuned.

I can second that, although the tiles approach in JSF is way saner with
1/3rd less glue code in xml thank in Struts, it still is a somewhat
rough experience, with many internal issues.
If you can, omit tiles and go for something else.
The options have been mentioned.
