Description

There should be support for nested definitions, i.e. definitions in which one or more attributes are assigned directly a definition, instead of a reference of a "named" one. For instance:

<definition name="tileB" extends="tileA">
<put name="header">
<definition path="/header.jsp">
<put name="menu" value="/menu.jsp" />
</definition>
</put>
<put name="body" value="/body.jsp" />
</definition>

The nested definition has not a name, because it does not need it and it will be used only in the outer definition.
