You can't get the ServletRequest from the PortletRequest indeed, but 
when you call requestDispatcher.include on the URL of a servlet, that 
servlet receives a ServletRequest. And I believe this ServletRequest 
comes with the same attributes that were set on the RenderRequest.

You say these attributes are not visible from Tiles... where are they 
visible then? Are they visible from JSPs? I think you may be confusing 
"definition attributes" with "request attributes", both are visible from 
Tiles in different ways.

I can't help here... But please let us know of your findings, if this is 
indeed the mainstream way of using Portlets, we should probably make 
Tiles compatible with it.

Good luck
