I think that what Torin was really asking was how to make
<managedBeanName> reference different objects depending on what "parent"
page included this one.
When using JSP, the tomahawk t:aliasBean tag is the best way to do this:
page1:
<t:aliasBean value="#{realBean1}" alias="#{dst}">
<jsp:include ..../>
</t:aliasBean>
page2:
<t:aliasBean value="#{realBean2}" alias="#{dst}">
<jsp:include ..../>
</t:aliasBean>
The included page can then reference #{dst}. The effect is pretty much
like a method parameter.
